(Cask at Dean Swift, London Bridge, London, 22 April 2017) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, toffee, dried fruit and apricots. Malty, slightly fruity taste with caramel, apricots, orange peel and a balanced, slightly earthy, bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. An attractive bright golden amber pour with a thin cream head; malty aroma with a touch of citrus; malty caramel body with an immediate herbal bitterness, much more forceful than expected; then a satisfying dry finish with some sour grains and lingering leafy hops. Rather different and rather good.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Vague silage aroma. An orange-amber. Creamy, small-bubbled, off-white head. A tangy light bitterness. Burnt caramel and herbs. Orange juice. Light bodied. Frothy carbonation, with a slick mouthfeel. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable and interesting, not another boring ESB.

Cask handpull at The Parcel Yard Kings Cross. Clear deep copper colour lasting beige head. It’s a decent premium bitter. Some jammy fruit which is pleasant. A bit like a strawberry milk chocolate. Yes i ended up liking it. Good condition and flavours. Good drying peppery hop finish.
