Cask at The Watford Beer Festival 2013. Poured a slightly hazy dark amber colour with a halo of off white head. Aroma was nutty with some floral hop and apple notes. Sweet, malty flavour with caramel and some grass. Palate was straw, toffee and stale malts.

Best Bitter with a thin texture that makes it crisp, but also a decent flavour closer to fruits than bitter malts. Dark amber colour.

Cask gravity at London Drinker BF 07. Amber colour with no head. Quite wide in the mouthfeel. Slightly different take on a normal best bitter. Good spicy hop finish.
