Tight off white head on a rich copper coloured body.
Medium, finely carbonated & creamy.
Toffee, caramel, malt & nutty tastes with a tangy berry finish.
Nice enough.

Pint of cask out the barrel at the Lytton Arms beer festival. This is a perfect and down the line bitter. All boxes ticked. Nothing special and nothing bad

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Ship & Mitre on 15th May 2025. Amber body, off-white head. Solid Bitter with a woody, earthy feel throughout, some orchard fruits appear alongside a decent malt background.

Cask (O'Neill's, Uppsala) - Copper in colour. Dried fruit and some earthy notes feature prominently in both the aroma and the taste. Mediocre.

Handpull cask at the Fountain Inn, Tipton. Brownish gold, clear with a big buff head. Lots of lacing. Astringent, woody aroma. Taste has a surprising sweetness, with notes of caramel, before fading into a good bitterness. Light body, soft carbonation. As basic a bitter as you’ll ever find, but not bad.
