Drunk from cask at Williams Ale & Cider house in London after a bad burger (elsewhere), while playing darts. The beer was medium dark red-amber, low carb of course. Great complex malty, nutty-bitter flavor. Excellent stuff in great condition.

24th Aug 2018; gravity poured half-pint at the 22nd Codsall Station Beer Festival. Really enjoyed this light amber ale with it's thin wispy topping. Nothing stood out in the aroma or tatse, it just felt right, lovely balance to it, a perfect English Bitter, not too sweet, not too bitter and NO CITRUS flavours!
