Cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Golden colour, clear with a tiny bit of white head but a surprising amount of lacing. Malty smell with a touch of fruit loaf and a resinous hint. Simple bitter taste with orange peel and a bit of clove. Long bitter finish. Its incredibly simple but I like the recipe.

Bottle at home, 04/03/17. Lightly hazed golden amber with a decent off White head. Nose is orange peel, toasted grains, straw, light bread notes. Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, grains, spice, bread, lemon drizzle. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close with a bitter edge. Ok for style if a little harsh at times.

Cask handpulled at The Bull in Devonshire Row, London. Pours golden with an initially large creamy white head, soon dissipating. Aroma is floral, hoppy, with touch of caramel and fruit. Initially bitterness much heavier than sweetness but the two combine nicely as pint was consumed. Body is quite light, texture sticky, carbonation average. Finish is lasting bittersweet and fruity. Quite decent light bitter.

Cask-conditioned at the Kent Beeriodical, the Seven Stars Bristol February 2012. Deep gold in colour with a frothy white head. Citrus fruit aroma with some biscuity malts. More fruit in the flavour, with a touch of cereal and dryish finish. Good.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Copper colour slight haze, lasting bubbly head. Some hop on aroma, rubber yeast. Bit of rubber in mouth, not a huge amount of condition. Bit muddy and earthy. Hints of hop on finish. Not enormously good I must say. Bit uncultured, could settle down to be decent in later brews.
