On gravity at the Tuckers Maltings Beer festival, Newton Abbot 23/04/10. Amber in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of digestives, caramel and a touch of apricot. Flavour was dominated by cereal malts, with a big bitter finish. Drinkable.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Bright, sparkling gold in colour with a thin white head; fruity and malty aroma; flavour is fruity at first and slightly tart; then developing a dry caramel taste with a touch of smoke; the finish is deep and full of traditional hoppy bitterness. An excellent astisfying and complex bitter, despite the low ABV.
