Half-pint, cask at Piccadilly Tap. Shared with Finn. Firm beige head, fine lacing on the glassware, bright amber coloured body. Welcome aroma of leafy hops, mid-sweet. Fine blended taste of caramel, biscuit and leafy hop bitterness towards the ending. Bittersweet ending. Above par for the style, nice. (Manchester 05.10.2018).

Cask @ White Hart, Todmorden, as Saltaire Titus. I'm assuming this beer after the breweries recent rebranding exercise, now with a red label and simply called 'Titus' is the same beer as this entry, it has very similar brewery notes and is just 0.1% higher in abv. If it is not I'll move this review at a later date to any new entry for the beer. Golden and mildly floral, it's hoppy in both aroma and taste. Mildly malty and nothing special.

Handpull cask at the Grapes, Cambridge. Honey brown with a tiny film of white head, but lots and lots of lacing. Fresh fruity hop aroma with notes of passionfruit and persimmon. Taste is slightly bitter with light sulphur and toasty overtones. Palate is a bit flat and sticky, and doesn’t bring out the best in the beer. All in all a mixed bag but the flavour is enjoyable. I’d have this again.

Cask at Ye Grapes in Shepherds Market. Pours bright copper with a white head. Floral/citrus aroma. Med body. Bitter hop flavor with some lightly toasty malt. Hop seems citrus and floral. Lots of flavor for the low ABV.
