Cask in Oxford. Amber / copper color. Light and thinnish body. Light malt, but with nice caramel flavor and decent hops. Not really exciting, but decent enough.

Deep clear amber with a tall off-white head. Aroma is lightly malt and citrus hops. Subtle and smooth. Flavor is similar with earth, citrus, and light grains. A more relaxed and subtle brew. Easy going and enjoyable but not memorable.

Aroma is an intense soury and hoppy affair hinting towards marijuana. Has a nice brown body with modest head. Flavour is very soft malt hints and little else. Kind of weak & watery mouthfeel. It looks and smells good but doesn’t deliver. All surface, no substance!

On tap at the newly refurbished Melville Bar. Appearance - honey with a decent head. Nose - malt and honey Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a reasonably clean finish. Overall - not unpleasant but neither does it do anything.
