Bright amber, small white head. Light balanced nose.Palate of light malt with medium strength lasting bitterness. Sessionable for sure And yes Oakes, diacetyl is gone

At Callister: pours copper with no head. Aroma is herbal and malty. Taste is malty and lightly bitter. Kind of meh.

Cask at Callister
Golden hazy color with frothy head. Aroma and flavor are yeasty and bready, it has expectedly low carbonation and warm temperature; it has a bit of toffee malt, and the bitterness is lower than any English Bitter; light Band Aid; the high yeast presence creates astringency in the final. Not bad, but to be improved.

Draft - Light stone fruit and caramel/butterscotch. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Biscuit, little bitter vegetal notes and twig. En point with what I would get in England.

Cask @ Callister. Amber bitter, thin head. Touch of butter on the nose....same on palate with some blueberry fruitiness. Some nice juiciness on the palate is pretty authentic. I won’t order a pint until the diacetyl is gone, though.

On cask at Callister Brewing, pours a mostly clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is nearly nonexistent, with subtle hopping. Flavour is quite hoppy, with English hops, not enough bready malt, which leaves a rather unpleasant lingering astringency. Clean and smooth palate, but the finish is a bit too harsh. Still decent.
