Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 13/10/2017. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Some hay, leafy hops, peach and lemon fruits, ripe cereal malts and a pleasantly bitter finish. Good.

19th Oct 2017. Cask during the Wetherspoon Festival, drank in The William Withering, Wellington Shropshire. Liked the bottled version, so was hoping the cask was just as good and it was. Golden bronze body, smooth head of creamy foam. Bready, malty aroma, malt first in the taste also, fruitiness feel within the flavour, a very decent blend and a pleasant Bitter all round.

Pint at the Crosse Keys. A bright, citrusy and smooth beer that was served at the right temperature and was exceptionally refreshing. A very robust mouth feel that wore its abv well. This was the best beer of the session.

2016 catch up - A good strong bitter. Very nice and actually quite refreshing. A good bitterness of hops and a nice strength from the alcohol.
