Cask at The White Swan JDW, Solihull. Clean amber-brown pour with smooth off-white head. No huge flavours but has caramel, bread, light floral and grassy hop with moderate bitter bite. Smooth and easy drinking. Its a below average bitter but at £1.79 a pint for a pleasant enough ale is good value.

Cask. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Light citrus and malt aroma with vinegar notes. Malt and light vinegar. Medium bodied. Malt and light vinegar linger.

April 2015. Cask half pint at the Jack Fairman (JDW), Horley. Deep golden to copper colour, small white head. Moderate aroma, malty with hints of toffee and a little fruit. The flavour is malty but not sweet, with a slight but pleasant tingling fruity sensation on the tongue.

Hand-pulled pint on 6th September 2024 in the Telford Town Centre Wetherspoons. When ever I go into a 'spoons' I ignore this beer thinking I've rated it years ago, on this day however I checked and to my dismay discovered I had in fact not done so (even though I know I've had it before). Clean amber body, off-white crown and only £1.79 a pint. It has a slight bitter taste with a caramel sweetness in the background. Not bad at all, certainly no negative thoughts from me, maybe a bit thin, but it's a 3.7% cooking bitter after all.

Cask at JDW Spoons, Eastbourne. Quite alright for £1.29 a pint!! Inoffensive aroma and taste. Creamy yet still gluggable. Could definitely have a session on it.
