Pours a clear amber colour with a small off-white head that settled to a film. Aroma is malted caramel, orange peel with some grassy hops. Moderately sweet and bitter taste, caramel citrus peel and a hop bitter finish.

Handpull cask at the Wheatsheaf, Oakham. Reddish brown, clear with the weak combover equivalent of white head. Sweet-smelling with notes of porridge, strawberry liquorice and sweet caramel. Taste is sweet as well, with a berry flavour pervading to the finish. Flat but full enough body. Not particularly exciting but certainly drinkable, especially if you like your beers on the sweeter side.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Really have to stretch the nose muscles to pick up the low key if perfumed floral aroma. Dark brown. Frothy translucent white head. Light bitter with a sweet streak. Mutates into sweet and sour into the finish. Quite malty but the perfume in the aroma continues into a fruity almost Turkish Delight sweetness. Don't necessarily mix so well though. Mesium bodied. Thin. Flat. Long dry and slightly astringent finish. Certainly sessionable as advertised. But almost overshadowed by its aftertaste. It's bitter. Of course it's bland.

31/5/2018. Bottle from Steam Cellar, Whitley Bay. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, grain, fruit, caramel and malt. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Light body, slight watery texture, average carbonation. Some sharpness to finish. Ok, but not a winner for me.
