Bottle from Asda. Copper coloured bitter, with plenty of caramel sweetness, a touch of leafy hop and moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask from the Generous Briton, Loughborough. Brownish goals, clear with a small white lead. Lots of lacing. Sweet toffee, fresh.y baked bread and biscuit spread in the aroma. Sweet taste with light fruity hops balancing out the finish. Caramel syrup in the aftertaste. Simple and very traditional but a good English beer.

Cask at Cod and Lobster, Staithes. Deep golden colour, creamy white foam head leaving lacing and biscuity malt aroma. Taste is malty, toffee, honey with grainy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Half pour (cask) at York Tap. Medium amber with small creamy head, lots of lacing. Bready, malty aroma. Taste is also like dark bread, cask makes this silky smooth and delicious. Really sublime and superb.

Wonderful use of Golden Promise malt. Some peppery notes from uk hops. Smashability is high. Redcurrant. Floral. Clean. Killer beer.
