Cask at the brewery tap. Aroma has malts and dark fruit plus a good waft of honey. Opaque amber. Bubbly off-white head. Like the aroma the underlying T.E.A. is there with light grains and slightly sour berries. However the honey sweetness is in throughout. They work together. Although the sour berries are then most prominent into the astringent finish. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long and as already noted astringent finish. Nice enough amd it works but without being particularly impressive.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Slightly hazy amber with a thin white head; sour apple aroma; caramel and orange fruit flavours; short, dry, burnt caramel finish.

Cask gravity at Red Lion, Snargate. Slight haze on an amber/red beer, disappearing head. Herby hoppy aroma with some grapefruit. Reasonable juicy malts in mouth. Tingly, zesty herby citrus hop finish. Very drinkable bitter with an attack of herby grapefruit hop.
