(cask@The Summerfield) A medium dark amber, with a creamy off white head. Aroma/taste caramel malt, nutty, only slightly fruit hop undertones, body is medium and almost 0 carbonation. Used to like this many years ago, now tastes distinctly average for my palate.

Soapy in texture and aroma, and soapy bitterness for its taste. Not too pleasant.

A nice medium brown session bitter. Quite plain with only a light hoppy finish. Not bad.

Cask @ GBBF, 2011. Pours unclear amber with a bubbly head on top. Floral and fruity. Quite a lot of corn. Dry and clean. Medium to thin body. Decent.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours a clear, light brown with no head. Light, sweet bread on the nose, with some toffee. Flavor is sweet, has some toasted caramel, herbal and leafy bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some toast in the finish along with faint, leafy hops. OK.
