Cask at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Nose is banana,digestive biscuit, peach. Taste is the first two of the above. Doesn't have the bitterness of the original. Quite pleasant though.

Cask at White Lion, Stockport. Pours bright copper with a small almost white scummy head and good lacing. The aroma is quite simply bitter hops. In the mouth in is superficially sweet but with underlying bitterness. Flavour has bitter hops and corn with some underlying citrus initially (though this fades). Hints of honey and ginger later. Finish is quite bitter. This is decent – a good attempt as recreating the much missed classic.

Can from Michaels Drinks, Yardley, Birmingham. Pours a clear amber, smooth creamy white head, nice lacing. Aroma of light caramel malts, faint grassiness. Taste is very bland and a bit metallic, some light caramel. Not unpleasant. Smooth mouthfeel, low tingle of carbonation. Poor.
