Cask @ Pint Pot, Rochdale. Dark amber with a creamy-frothy head. Earthy-dryish malts hide a hint of fruit. Session strength and texture.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Duke of Wellington. Upper part lacing, next-to-clear copper body, patchy surfaces. Moderate dough fruity nose. Subdued malt-fruity flavours, earthy malts and leafy hops. Rounded ending, hints of citrus peels. Easy to drink. Okay British bitter. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

Bottle from Cobbett's, Dorking. Earthy malty aroma with underlying fruity streak. Amber. A thin foamy translucent white head. Initial hit of light-medium sournes over the top. Light bitter core - malts and grains. Bitter into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Inoffensive. Drinkable.
