[Cask from brewer’s own stand at the Thame Food Festival] Crystal clear amber-red with a slight white head. Lovely rich, full mouthfeel. Despite the cascade hops, this seems to have full-on traditional English bitter flavours - fruity flavours of berries, orange and marmalade, with a lasting earthy, bitter finish and a slight dryness. Tastes stronger than it is. Very decent beer from what seems to be becoming a very reliable brewery.

Cask at The Lower Red Lion, St Albans, Herts. An amber/ruby coloured pour with a medium off white head. Fruity, malty aroma. Tastes malty, fruity, caramel. It’s OK.
