Cask at Old Wheatsheaf. Frimley Green. Clear golden-brown. Foamy off-white head. Aroma is malty with a bitter edge. Light-medium bitter. Earthy. Chewy. Twiggy. Tart berry edge. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Chewy but ultimately unexciting.

Cask and The George Inn, London (30/03/2023) - amber with a white head. Pretty sweet bready malty and fruity, citrus fruit, light to medium body, too sweet overall for me.

Pint on tap at Gardeners Arms, Offerton. Golden bronze colour with thin creamy white head. Zero carbonation. Notes of buttery caramel on the nose. Some peppery/celery thing going on the background. Unusual. Laces well. Good body, smooth texture. Taste is dark burnt caramel with a finish of pepper, dark fruit and granny smith apples. Quite nice, unusual bitter.
