Cask ½ pint at Crispin, Wokingham, on June 14, 2017.Malty, slight berries, fruity hoppy taste. Bitter, rose petals aftertaste. Smooth, low CO2 mouthfeel. Lasting medium high bitterness. Clear light brown color, off-white head with lenty of lacing. Malty, a bit fat, fruity hoppy scent.A bit too bitter for me to have several of, nice for a small one though.7/4/7/4/15=3.7

Cask at Swan Inn, Farnborough. 14/09/16. Slightly sweet aroma... I think. Bright amber. Creamy slightly off-white head. Medium bitter - a sourness I’m not keen on. Light, smooth. Goes down easily but the taste is just limited to the previously mentioned sourness. Had it once before. Gave it a second chance. Just don’t particularly rate it.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Deep amber with a middling cream head. Toffee, earth, a touch of lemon and a smear of fart. The malt is definitely in charge of this very traditional style bitter. Decent rich mouthfeel but I don’t like farts in my pint.
