Cask @ The Brewery Tap, at the National Brewery Centre, Burton. Pours a clear golden copper, good white crown. Pale malt nose, clean malt character to taste, pleasantly sweet, soft hop bitterness. Nice, fresh, simplistic pintworthy.

9th March 2018. Cask pint at The Platform Ale House, Albrighton Shropshire. Copper body, clean and clear, off-white crown on top. Nice blend, malts to the fore in the aroma, hops take over in the semi-bitter taste, some fruity notes in both the nose and flavour, just to keep you interested.

From cask at the Dove Street Inn Spring Beer Festival, Ipswich. Pours clear dark amber with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma of fruit, malt, hop and floral notes. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft to average carbonation. Finish is dry, sticky, bitter and fruity.

Cask gravity at Kent & East Sussex Railway BF 2016. Deep clear amber colour attractive lasting white head. Some caramel and peppery hop aroma. Ok caramel toffee flavour with an edge of white pepper hops. Very English. Good condition. Good drinkability. Lovely best bitter pale ale or whatever. Good hop bite on the finish. Good.

Handpull cask at the Brewery Tap, the bar at the National Brewery Centre. Copper with a decent-sized off-white head. Not much aroma - a bit of fruity resiny astringency but it’s rather muted. I like the way this tastes. Sweet with tropical fruit juice notes fading to an astringent - but far from harsh - long finish. A cracking little bitter with bags of character.

Cask at Craft Clapham. It pours clear brown with a small, bubbly off-white head. The aroma is soft, earthy, brown bread, cereal and caramel. The taste is sort of bitter, earthy, leaf, cereal, grainy, dull lemon, lemon parfait and caramel. with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty earthy stuff. Not bad overall.
