On cask at Young Henry's, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma and flavour is pretty bland, with biscuity malt, maybe a touch of English hops. Clean but boring as hell.

Can. Amber with an off white head. Flabby aroma of biscuit, caramel, pears. Thinnish, moderate carbonation. Some passionfruit, vague citrus and pepper and a decent bitter finish cheer things up fair bit after the underwhelming aroma. Not bad.

640ml bottle into pint glass. Faint fruity hop nose. Looks the goods. Golden bronze beer with solid white head. High carbonation for a bitter with a constant stream of tiny bubbles. Lightly bitter, quite watery. Finish is dry, a little citric & a touch of cashew. True to style though perhaps a touch too bitter for an English style ’bitter’.

Dark red with a lasting, firm, tan head. Aroma is lightly fruity, biscuit, sweet caramel. Medium bodied. Flavor is mostly fruit, bread malt, lightly toasted grain. A very simple and easy going brew. I’d have another (and I did).

Cask @ Royal Albert. Amber and bright. Loose, bubbly head. The aroma is quite toasty with an integrated moderate diacetyl...very English in character, old school English at least. Toasty, buttery with juicy hop & acidity in the finish. A mix of brown bitter and juicier southern special bitter.
