Sweet malt character comes from the pale malt and some toffee character comes from the crystal malt. A little roasted barley adds a touch of astringency. Special yeast adds fruity esters. The hops give classic clean herbal and resin hop flavour with a moderate easy drinking bitterness.

Cask, handpump at The Highwayman, Kidlington, Oxon, whilst Morris Dancing at the pub 11.07.11 Pours brown with good clarity and an off white head. Fruity in the mouth with middling bitterness, and a fruity tang also noted. Itโs ok and perfectly acceptable but not an exciting beer. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask at The Old Explorer (a GK pub), London, under its assumed alias London Glory. Beautiful mahogany colour, coarse small off-white head. No aroma detectable. Thin mouthfeel. Dry flavour, moderate hops. Drinkable, but not exciting. Youโd think GK should be able to come up with something better than this.

Cask handpull at Betjamen Arms, St Pancras station. Darkish brown, thin beige head. Some GK yeast over an ok if underwhelming bitter. Some bitterness on finish. Itโs ok-ish. GK yeast runs through it. I mean it is a bitter so ticks those boxes. Not unpleasant.

[Cask at the Sherlock Holmes, Charing Cross, London, 26/6/10; rating 6/3/7/4/14] Deep amber-red. Good rich malt, toffee & raisin bitter, just the way I like โem! Surprisingly good for a GK "special". [Re-rate, cask at the Tartar Frigate, Broadstairs, 20/5/11; rating 5/4/4/2/9] (rebranded as London Glory) Amber, moderate off-white head, toffee, mild dusty hop bitterness in finish. Another boring GK identikit beer. Donโt know what I was thinking of with my original rating - I must have been pissed! Rating given is average of the two pints.

Mild caramel aroma, red brown color, clear with frothy head, medium bitter taste, medium body and slightly bitter finish. Nice beer but not the best I have tasted.
