Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 5/6/2014. Amber with a decent, and frothy, off-white head. Well-balanced bitter, with some crisp, and slightly biscuity malts, hedgerow fruits, leafy hops and a decent, bitter finish. Enjoyable.

(Cask at Euston Tap, Euston, London, 22 May 2011) Copper colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots, citrus, biscuity malt and hints of toast. Malty, toasty taste with canned fruit, toast and biscuity malt. Rather light body with balanced sweetness and a mild bitterness. Hardly exciting, but definitely drinkable.
