Spoons Fest. Clear amber beer. Light soft palate. Zero carbonation! Light malt and helium light hops. Turns sweeter on the back of the tongue. Orange, subtle bubblegum and even a little strawberry. Finishes soft and a little dry Slightly odd flavour profile but very drinkable!

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Copper with a thin loose cream head; malty aroma; soapy mouthfeel, thin body, malty flavour; lightly bitter finish. Rather disappointing overall.

Cask-conditioned at the Robert Fitzharding (JDW), Bristol 18/11/09. Reddish-amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Malty, red fruit and caramel aroma with a touch of earthiness. Sweetish, bready malt aroma with some berry fruit and lightly bitter finish. Ok.
