Cask at JDW EASTBOURNE. Lovely appley aroma, just like summa that. Good memories. Amber colour with lasting foam. I mean it's alright, close to summa that, but lacking profoundness..

Copper brown with a frothy white head and a sweet malt aroma. Light bodied, sweet and malty with some fruity notes, a sprinkling of floral hop bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Is very slow to clear, but eventually pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – ust vague hints of autumn fruits. In the mouth it starts off with sweet malts on a caramel base with some underlying bitterness. Later on there is some general fruitiness, and you notice it’s all a bit watery. Finish is slightly nutty. A decent bitter, if nothing else.
