(Cask at Kitty's, 20260122) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had toasted malts, earth, toffee and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were earth, toasted malts, caramel, toffee and bitterness. Aftertaste had earth, herbalness, malts and bitterness. A good malty brew with sharp hop notes.

Cask (O'Neill's, Uppsala) - Amber in colour. Malty and slightly fruity aroma with hints of orange and honey. Nicely balanced taste with biscuity malt, grass and some notes of orange and berries.

Clear amber colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have light raisin sweetness. Dry floral hop. Great body for a low alcohol beer. Slight candy and almond notes in the background.

Bottle at home. A rather fantastic old school best bitter that ticked all of the right boxes. Malt and bitter hops in balance and brilliant drinkability. Lovely.
