(Cask at Gallows Bird Real Ale Festival 2016) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, molasses and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, molassess, malts, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A good one.

29th March 2015: lunchtime pint in The Chequers, Walthamstow E17. Cask, hand-pulled: mahogany body a colourless wisp for a head (pity). Malty lead in both the nose and flavour: semi-sweet with bold fruitiness before the bitterness kicks in towards the finish.

Cask at the Royal Inn, Par (Cornwall) on 19th April 2014. Deep copper with buff head and full lacing. Malty aroma with pungency. Malty and bitter in-mouth, and a solidly bitter finish. Light texture but plenty of body.

On gravity at the Green Man, Bristol 26/09/10. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, toffee aroma with plenty of citrus hop. Flavour started sweet before a contrasting citrus hop kick, which worked really well, and dry finish. Unusual and enjoyable.
