[Cask at the White Hart, Holyport.] A bright amber pour with a loose white head; malty aroma; plain malty taste; with a light herbal bitterness. A rather good ordinary bitter.

Cask at EBf28. Soft fruity aroma - unexpected. Light chestnut. Bubbly white head. Initially malty before a berry bitterness comes through. Some hints of sweetness. Light bodied and on the thin side. Flat. Relatively abrupt finish. OK. Certainly drinkable but not particularly interesting.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/8/2017. Amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of red berries, tangerines and hedgerow hops. Flavour had some more ripe fruit, digestive malts and a moderately bitter finish. A pleasant session bitter.
