Handpull cask at Mr Grundy’s Tavern, Derby. Light copper, some natural carbonation and very little head. Sticky crystal malt smell, a bit stale but altogether enjoyable. Taste sweet and malty until the finish where there’s a touch of bittering hop. Long balanced finish. This is one helluva malt bomb for 3.9%. Good although nothing to get overly excited about.

Cask @ Cross Inn, Heptonstall. Slightly hazy golden coloured ale with a small head. Lightly hopped with some country fruits in its nose and taste. Fairly crisp.

Cask-conditioned at the Crown, Bristol 25/1/2014. Deep gold with a slight white head. Cereal malts, a touch of grassy hops, summer fruits and a bitter finish. Fine.
