Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Light reddish brown, clear. A thin layer of off-white foamy head. Simple caramel aroma with a good dollop of leafy hop giving some woody sage tones to the bouquet. Malt-led flavour but the bittering hop is strong, shaping the finish into a strong but never harsh bitterness. Body has a pleasant fullness to it. An enjoyable old-school strong(ish) bitter.

Cask pint in the Eagle, Boston Lincolnshire on 2nd Mar 2017. A red hue to the true mahogany coloured body, the head a lasting off-white affair. Malty and fruity from the start, hop bitter finish. Liked it.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge on 12th April 2016. Copper with declining off white ring-and-film. Malty aroma with leafy herbiness. Herby hops, sweet malts and a citrus touch in-mouth. A diacetyl touch. Bitter finish rescues the beer somewhat. Light mouthfeel and body.

Tried at the Three Horseshoes, Waddington. Amber colour with an off white head. Malty caramel, and very fruity aroma. Taste smooth light sweet and slight bitter.
