A strong malty taste from the roasted barley but still holding a citrusy character.

Cask at Great Expectations - Reading. Pours clear, orange-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Grainy pale bread in the nose, slight citrus peel. Light sweet flavor with more grainy pale malts, a little hay, vague toffee, light plastic, wood. Light bodied with fine carbonation; so so condition. Lightly astringent on the finish, with notes of leafy hops, damp grains, cheap bread, dirty hay. Not very enjoyable.

Cask at Great Expectations, Reading. Amber with a middling white head. Fruity malts throughout. Sweetish but with a touch of earthy bitterness. Decent traditional bitter.

Cask at the Great Expectations, Reading. Golden amber with a ring of white head; citrus aroma; rich oily body, with some fruity malts and a light bitterness; before a sweet biscuity finish. A pleasant malty bitter.
