Cask handpull at Fat Cat Norwich. Clear amber brown colour lasting beige head. A malty bitter. Earthy English hop finish. Good malt though. I Like the malty biscuit. Decent

Cask @ the Mill, Cambridge. Reddish-brown bitter. What it lacks in head it makes up for in clarity. Floral, leafy and bready aroma. Taste starts with a sharp bitter with sweet edges, then fades to an intense bitter-sour with a papery dry finish. Refreshing. Reminiscent of Adnams Southwold, but I think this beer just shades it. Very happy to make its acquaintance.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS! Almost clear amber beer with decent off white suddy head. Palate is smooth and a little dry. Mild fine carbonation. Dried fruits - pleasant. A little tang. Drop of stewed tea. Mild malts and not too much bitterness. Semi dry finish. Standard bitter but mellow and done well.
