Bottle picked up from Sainsburys, Streatham (01/12/2021) - clear golden pour with a white head. Sweet malty and fruity, light citrus fruit, sweet biscuity malts, medium to light body, restrained hoppy bitter close.

Bottle from Asda. Pours a clear golden colour with a thinnish soapy looking white head. Aromas of biscuits, peppery spice and toasty bread with a hint of caramel and floral. Taste is again biscuity with more peppery spice, toasty bread and caramel. Still a little hint of floral and also a mild citrusy note. Subtle grassy hop on the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite a nice beer enjoying it.

Cask at Cross Inn, Eardisland Herefordshire. Pours clear deep golden with a white head. Aroma: caramel, some bread, slight lemon, subtle floral hops. Taste: light sweet & light to moderate bitter, caramel, some lemon, maybe orange, subtle floral hops. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Fine.

Cask at The Village Pub, Barnsley Village, Gloucestershire. Deep amber pour with a white head. Citrus, dried fruit & malt aromas. Similar action in the taste. Mallty, bitter finish.

Bottle from Tesco in Stafford. There’s just a vague, but pleasant, aroma of malts. Pours a golden orange with minimal off-white head. In the mouth, sweet malts hit the tastebuds instantly. Hops, both floral and citrus are there also, but take time to make their presence felt. Finish is fairly bitter. This is a good solid best bitter – very drinkable.

Cask at the Horse and Groom in Oddington. A pretty decent ale that is on the golden side of bitter. A humble ale.

Bottle with BBE in 2121! There could be an incredible amount of preservatives or someone in the brewery has been sampling too much of their own product. Pours goldish amber, small head which leaves some lacing. Aroma of caramel, powerful yeasts, butter. Low carbonation, quite smooth, decent body. Taste of malts, offputing yeast, hop, something more earthy and bready, but with an underlying sweetness throughout. I made the mistake of starting to drink this at fridge temperature before reading the back which states served lightly chilled. At low temperature nothing much comes though except the yeastiness but once left out for half-hour the flavour notes come through. Despite this I’m not massively keen, it’s a little too rich for me flavour wise, although still makes for a resonable beer.

Cask @Sandford Park Alehouse, Cheltenham. 05/02/2020. Color ambarino pequeña corona de espuma blanca, aromas cereal, maltosa, sabot maltosa, caramelo, notas florales, cuerpo sedoso.

Cask at the Baiting House, Upper Sapey. Cloudy orange, white head. Malty, some caramel, floral, sweetish. Soft texture. Light to medium bodied.
