500ml bottle delivered from the Ale Wagon and drunk at home. Brownish gold and clear with a large foamy beige head. Bready yeast in the aroma combining with a sulphurous medicine character. Fresh, clean taste, well balanced with more sulphur close to the finish. A decent amount of carbonation. Normally these aren't my kind of beers but this is fairly refreshing if a bit ordinary.

Cask handpump at The Ale Wagon, Leicester. Caramel brown colour, with minimal head. Greater appearance of alchohol than expected for the % abv.

An extraodinary bitter! Light and clear and with an intense sweet malt and grapefruit followed by sweet peach and raspberry (peach melba!) notes. Very moorish.

Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London, 4% ABV
Muddy deep blond color. Light aroma, earthy, light manure. Malty flavor, with a light grainy touch, some pleasant sweetness, light cookies, correct bitterness, quite good hopping. Good.

Standard ale appearance with virtually no aroma, but lightly hopped. Very weak malty hopped flavour. A disappointing strong bitter.
