Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden. Chestnut colour with bubbly off white head. Malty aroma with touch of tangy hop. Good malt flavours in mouth that slide into red berry and citrus. Not sure what I expected from this, but the hop really is quite spicey. Bit of tea on the aroma. Surprisingly tasty.

Sampled draught at The Rover, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Amber coloured with flowery aroma. Sweet and fruity with medium body. Mellow maltiness but decent hop rate and some late bitterness. Not very complex.
