Cask at Christian Firtal. Copper with a lasting off-white head. Malty aroma with bread and biscuit, along with fruity notes like apple, plum and raisin. Malty and fruity flavour with a rather bitter finish. There is an unusual initial tartness just as the beer hits the tongue

From cask dispense into an English half pint glass at the Rose and Olive Branch, Virginia Water, Jan ’12. Pours a clear chestnut brown colour with a thin white head that soon vanished. Bready-malty caramel in the aroma, but quite a background smell on all counts, no one aroma dominates. Malt dominates the taste, slightly woody and nutty. Mouthfeel was below average, quite a thin beer, no real body. Overall a very average beer.

This is a review of a cask pint drank in the back bar (RAF bar) of ’The Eagle’ Cambridge in Nov 2011. Hand pulled into a UK pint sleeve: copper body, bright and clear with an off-white head of bubbles. The head hung around for a good while and left some heavy lacing as the beer sank down the glass. The smell was a fine mix of citrusy hops and mild maltiness: nothing too strong but easily found non-the-less. The taste more on the malt side than hoppy, lightly toasted malts in fact, with an undercurrent of hop bitterness towards the end. This is an OK beer, Greene King produce some awful beers as well as some outstanding ones, this sits firmly in the middle!

Cask at The Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. Pours clear copper with a strong, creamy head. Leafy hops, toasty grain, and some ripe citrus in the nose. Lightly sweet flavor, toasted malts, leafy and lightly earthy bitterness, slight caramel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Great condition. Dry, sweet finish, lasting leafy bitters with some toasty, lightly sugary malts. A pretty classic bitter.
