Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A clear amber orange coloured pour with a lasting thin greyish head. Aroma is subdued sweet malts, nutty, apple, honey. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty toffee malts, tangy green apple, fruit cake, twig. Palate is medium sweet, moderate cask condition. Boring twig.

Half pint, cask at JDW’s Gog and Magog, shared with Finn. Fair white head, faint lacing. Amber body, misty. Malt-fruity nose, caramel and citrus. Blended taste of caramel malts and berry fruits followed by a rounded bitter finish. Fine bodied. Pleasing (Plymouth 22.09.2016).

On cask at the Green Dragon. Appearance - amber with a proportionate head. Nose - biscuits, light toffee and a little citrus. Taste - loads more biscuits and a citrus edge again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yeah, enjoyed this.

Cask at the Allied Arms, Reading. Clear amber with a thick white head and a light sparkle. Decent fruity malt up front gives way to caramel. Too much caramel in fact; it gets a bit sweet and slimy and the hint of lemon hops that comes through isn’t enough to balance it.
