A light, ruby coloured ale with excellent hop and malt aromas, and a smooth, dry, malty flavour. A real ale that landlords tell us is popular with younger drinkers.

Cask via hand pump on 12th June 09 at the Pembury Tavern, London. Reddish brown bitter with creamy off-white head. Sharply bitter kick and burst of hoppiness to the nose(notes of herb/grass/pepper). Slight notes of spice and fruit - noticed some citricity on the tongue. Flavour is intense but short lasting.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol, 7/4/09. Amber red with next to no head. Fruity aroma with some caramel. Flavour had more fruit, a touch of wood and a vinous edge, giving way to a decent bitter finish. Ok.

Cask Conditioned at The Crown, London (Brewer St.)
Dark amber to brown color. The initial strong caramel aroma fades away. It has a dry caramel flavor, but in the end the ashes and the roasted malt are a bit too evident for me. Ordinary.

From cask at Kenilworth. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is fruity and holds a solid roasted malty note. Mild spiced and roasted malty flavoured with touch of sourness. Easy and smooth finish. Holds a light bitterness to the roasted malt acidic finish.

Cask at The Market Porter, London. Roasted aroma. Dark brown color with copper areas. Hoppy, fruity flavor. Medium body with mild carbonation. Roasted malt lightly follows the hop. Finishes fruit hoppy. Could be some citrus. Drinks very well.

An amber-red beer with a huge light orange head - quite dark for a bitter. The aroma is sweet malty with a hint of acidity, while the flavor is acidic malty with light notes of caramel.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Nut brown. Neutral nose. Fruity crystal malt character, very lightly roasty. Clean, rather sweet and medium bodied. Very low hop rate and only a slight hint of grassy bitterness in the finish.
