Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with a small white head. There are hints of caramel in the nose, but not much else. Sweet malts on a caramel base is the initial flavour with mushy apples coming through later, along with hints of nuts, citrus and traditional hops. Texture is a bit watery and finish is fairly sweet. A very good traditional bitter.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 6/2/2017. Deep amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Some hedgerow hops, red berry fruits, sweet, slightly bready, malts and a decent, bitter, finish. Good.

Gravity cask at the Land Rover Beer Festival 2016. Poured a clear medium amber with a round white head. The aroma is skunky malt, overripe tropical fruit. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a smooth fruity, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

On tap in Brampton 14/2/12 - Low carbonation and very thin. Raved about by my colleagues, but felt this was a pretty mediocre effort.
