Cask at the Globe, Leicester. Dark amber with a thin white head. Light malty smell. Perhaps some overripe citrus. Sweetish malty taste with some bitterness in the finish. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Pleasant enough but not a whole lot of personality.

Canned. Thanks Marduk. Poured golden color with a thick white head. Apples, pears in aroma, some hay and dusty notes. Sweet, green apples, floral notes. Kinda like the apple notes but overall not a tasty beer.

(Can, 0.5 l, at pre HBF2017 Saturday tasting, thanks Marduk) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramel and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, earth, toffee, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A poor brew but a county tick.
