Handpull cask at the Architect, Cambridge. Light copper, clear. Not much head but some patterned lacing around the glass. Biscuit and honey with a touch of overripe orange compete with a study grass and floral hop aroma. Simple bittersweet taste, with ample bittering hop but governed by a biscuit malt base. Short to medium finish with more ripe orange in the finish. Basic as you like but not that much the worse for it.

On tap at the Three Horseshoes, Waddington. Labled as Beacon Hill but told it’s just a relable. Amber colour with a white head. Light malty caramel aroma and taste. Thin body and a touch watery.
