Keg, half-pint on 20th December 2024 in Robert Raike's House. Clean amber body, decent head. Malty more than hoppy, not unpleasant subtle bitterness late on.

The aroma is soft grain, has good smooth foam on a body that's too yellow for a bitter. Flavour is medium grain with soft hops. Excellent bitter smoothness. It's not bad, rather simple, needs more maltiness for that bitterness effect. Cask at The White Horse pub in SoHo, London.

Tap. Brown Bear, Sheffield. Light, amber gold. Creamy, white head. Nose has sweet grain. Some grassy, privet leaf notes. Taste is sweet and leafy bitter in equal measure. Light body. Nitro pour like carbonation. Leafy bitterness to finish. Standard stuff.

Pint on tap at Victoria Hotel, Cleveleys. Still golden bronze beer with a creamy white head. Good lacing. Slight malt nose. Crispy bitter taste with bitter hoppy finish, touch of dark malt. Refreshing, easy-drinking.

From keg at Sinclair’s Oyster Bar, Manchester, with JFE and BG 21.01.19. Clear golden. Dense, even and persistent off-white head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of pale malt and moderate hops. Well-balanced with good drinkability.
