Cask, one-third pint picked up at the Gray Bar, GBBF’11. Bubbly ring at the surface, nice golden-brown body. Malt-fruity aromas. Flavoured with caramel malts, notes of berries and spiced fruits. Fine herbal dry, bitter ending. Pleasant (London, 04.08.2011).

Gravity at GBBF. Clear copper color, aroma of cinnamon and caramel. Taste has light spice and a smokey edge. Tastier than your average alt.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury during the Spoon Mass Tasting. Clear reddish amber with a lasting dark beige head. Certainly a good looking beer. Some very good fruit in the mouth red and dark fruits. Malts are quite sweet too. Not much like Uerige fresh or a couple of the others, as this is a bit fuller than something like the Schlossel. But overall it’s a tasty fullish sweetish malty beer with some dryness on the finsih. Would I pick this as an Alt in a blind tasting? Probably not, more a malt led best bitter. Drinkable enough though.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 13/04/10. Deep copper in colour with a lacy, off-white head. Sweet caramel, berry fruit and a touch of floral hop, with a short, dry finish. Ok.
