(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 20 Nov 2025) Amber colour with creamy, beige head. Malty nose with toast, apricots and nuts. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of caramel, dried apricots, bread, nuts and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Well balanced and tasty bitter. Nice one.

Keg at Silchester Farm. Aroma is light and grainy. Opaque amber brown. Thick foamy white head. Grainy bitterness. Develops tangy berries. But grains win out. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough.
