Bottle. Amber beer with a reasonable frothy head. The aroma is toffee with yeastiness and bitterness, and the flavour is also toffee and bitter with yeastiness. Overall a nice English style pale ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask gravity at the Watford beer fest 2014. Golden colour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is nice honey, sweet, floral. Flavour is pale malts, light honey, straw and earthy grass. Palate is medium body with decent condition. Quite sessionable.

Cask. Pours light amber, clear, witha white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, a bit of fruit. Taste is more of the same, fruity hints, some malt, hops come through towards the end. Quite good.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - golden amber with a nice head. Nose - fruit salad and a bit grainy. Faint though. Taste - tinned apples and peaches. More biscuit malt in the background. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a but astringent on the finish though.
