Cask at Cleveland Arms, London. Pours a mostly clear amber with a filmy head. Toasted bread aroma with some citrus hops. Sweet flavor with cracker and some fruity, medium roast malts. Light fruits, like grape and orange, with modest, earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes nicely balanced with light bitters and malty sweetness. Good brew.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark brown, almost mahogany, colour, foamy off-white head. Fruity nose with dark fruit, orange, apricots and a fresh earthy hop aroma. Fruity, nutty taste with caramel, toffee, chocolate and a nice punch of earthy hops in the finish. Very nice hop character.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW Ashford. Russet colour with lasting beige tight head. Orchard fruit and toffee on nose and slightly acidic in mouth with more orchard fruit. Some toasty malts which give a hint of sweetness too. Not bad. Needs a bit more body for an autumn beer.
