Cask at Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Aroma is malty with a hint of spice. Clear light brown. Translucent white bubbly head soon recedes. Medium bitter sour tinged Underlying malty sweetness then flows through. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry finish. Pleasent if unexciting.

Cask at the Pint Shop, Cambridge on 14th September 2016. Clear copper with a thin, off-white foam and full lacing. Leafy, pungent aromas. Sweet caramel malt and burst of fruitiness in-mouth. Fruitiness morphs to sugary sweetness with a bitter touch in the the upper rear mouth during the finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. If you are in the mood for a sweet beer, this is quite pleasant drinking.

Cask hand pull at Gardeners Arms Norwich. Clear gold lasting white head. It’s a plain dryish light bitter. Some yeast character. OK if dull.

Cask at the Black Horse, Thorndon, Suffolk. Pours a clear amber brown with a small white head. Aroma of mild hop, light caramel, and light tropical fruit. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, just a touch sour. Light body, quite thin texture, soft carbonation. Even appreciating this as low ABV bitter, there was little to it.

Cask at the Townhouse, Bedford. £2.50 a pint so you kind of have to. Golden brown with not all that much off-white head. Cedar, astringency, unripe forest fruit. Bittersweet and well balanced. The sharpness of the bitter is offset by a mild candied sweetness. Long and reasonably bitter finish. This is nice, and continues to be enjoyable over the course of the pint.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, March 2015. Deep gold, with a decent, off-white, head. Solid bitter, with some hedgerow fruits, cereal malts, leafy hops and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
