Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nice balance to finish, plenty of toast and nuts, some lingering earth and herbal bitterness. Good beer. (3.7) Cask at The Southampton Arms, London.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 6th August 2011. Copper with thin off-white laceless head. Discreet herby aroma. Grassy hoppiness, herbiness and tangy citric notes in liquid. Notes of broad beans/cabbage. Quite a lengthy hoppy finish, slightly sour but also nicely bitter. Light mouthfeel.

Cask handpull at Ye Olde Thirsty Pig Maidstone. Orange copper with slight haze and a tad warm. Lasting cream head. Toasted malt and some peppery hop aroma. Enormously drinkable toasty bitter. Apart from being a touch warm this is lovely. Fresh as hell. Some yeasty meatyness on the aroma. But finish is excellent. Good bitter.
