Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and autumn fruits in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with malts, berry fruits and some traditional hops. Some bitterness in the finish. This is reasonable – but not particularly memorable.
