Cask at Head of Steam, Birmingham. Clear amber, smooth white top, good lacing. It's malty, notes of biscuit, woody and earthy hops. Its well rounded with a nice balance, Smooth and easy to down with a decent bitterness.

Handpull cask at the Pig & Pump, Chesterfield. Mid-brown and clear with a lacing-inducing off-white head. Biscuity aroma, some woody notes and light turps. Tastes bittersweet with a nice oaky character. Light to medium ou body, soft to nil carbonation. Hmmm. I like a lot of these craftier bitters but something is missing with this one. Like someone explained a traditional bitter to an AI chatbot and they brewed this. I mean, it is decent enough but just feels like there is little soul.

Cask at the brewery. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeast, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, herbal, earthy, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
