Distinctly appleish beer. Sweet with some butterscotch as well. Semi dry palate. Depsite the possible brewing flaws it was refreshing!

Cask handpull at The County, JDW, Ashford. Deepish gold colour with lasting beige head. It’s a bitter, bit appley, actually does remind me slightly of homebrew cider. OK moderate hop on finish. Slightly farty yeast aroma.

Cask at The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon, 29-05-09 Pours light amber with a white head and just a touch of haze, though it is rather cold and the coldness is also killing off any aroma sadly. Once this started to warm I detected some malt. There is a rather tingly bitterness to this and a decent hop showing, a little lemon rind, its a bit fruity with quite a dry finish.

Cask, half pint. Clear and plain amber body. Naked surface. Floral to the nose. Resinous hops in flavour with a satisfying bitter end (JDW Wheatsheaf Bar, Stoke 02.05.2009).

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a ring a white head; fruity aroma; syrupy flavour with some orange fruit; lacking finish. Boring.

(Cask at Speaker, Westminster, London, 16 Apr 2009) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with dried fruit, orange and earthy hops. Malty taste with notes of citrus, orange, nuts and dusty hops. On the thin side, but a decent and tasty bitter.
