Poor attempt to transfer bottle to cask. The spicyness is not pleasant in the palate.

From cask at The Society Room. Pours clear and golden deep orange to amber with a small white head. Aroma is mild peachy fruity. Crisp hoppy, peachy and mild citrusy. Vague sweet impression, otherwise dry and crisp hoppy fruity. Bitter and lingering fruity into the finish.

Cask at JDW Edgware Road. Pours clear amber with a soft, creamy and off-whit head. Holds a bready malt aroma with some faint fruits and earthy hops. Has a bready, nutty, slightly salty malt flavor, mildly sweet, with some very slight citrusy bitters. Light in body with soft, smooth carbonation. Finishes malty and fairly drty. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 2/11/10. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, caramel and fruit aroma. Fruity malt flavour, with a touch of citrus and decent, bitter finish. Ok.

Cask, handpull at The Standing Order, JDW, Edinburgh, with Craig, Rob (Rob’s mate) Jan, Charlotte & Loz, 29.10.10 Pours amber with good head, great clarity looks decent. Better than many GK beers, s it is not too sweet, with not so much toffee. Some light fruitiness and bitterness. Better than expected. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
