500ml bottle: BBE 08/2015. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home during 03/2015. Pale amber/golden body with a thin white topping. Nose and taste both leaning towards a caramel/toffee flavour, the hops arriving later in the taste to give a mild bitter finish. Decent enough blend, but lacked a real bite or depth of flavour.

Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London
Hazy golden color; small head. It’s very perfumy in the beginning, hoppy; it disappears, leaving some cookie aroma, light apples too. The body is not very strong; there is a good flavor of lightly crispy malt, toffee, cookies; correct bitterness; dryish at the end. Quite good.
