500ml bottle. Pours darm amber with a medium, frothy head. Aroma is bread and some dried fruits. Some spice, too. Taste is bread to start, dried fruits, medium bitter finish. Not bad.

Cask conditioned handpull at Postal Order, JDW, Worcester. Chestnut, slight hae, thick beige head. It’s a decent slightly herby strong bitter. OK hops. Quite spicy and reminds me a bit of some hard candy sugar sweets in terms of flavour. OK

Cask at the Moon and Spoon (JDW), Slough. Gold with a dense off-white head; malty aroma; full-bodied with a malty flavour and a peppery bitterness to finish. Better than most Everards I’ve tried.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light spiced and malty aroma. Flavour is smooth malty with a light bitterness coming through. Bitter and dry malty finish. Smooth yet somewhat flat and towards dull.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Citric aroma. The flavour starts off citric. Hazy dark amber colour. The finish is dull and fades out with a little rough bitterness. 6 3 6 3 10

Can, 4.7%. Good hop aroma, nicely fruity and rough. Clear amber colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is watery with a faint hint of fruity hops. The aftertaste is more fruity and thus better. 5 3 5 3 11
