From cask at Albert Square Chop House, 07.05.15. Pale clear golden. Dense and persistent white head. Soft and moderate aroma of pale malt and fine hops. Good drinkability, but quite anonymous.

Cask @ National Winter Ales Festival 2009. A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of grain and sulphur.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale amber, rocky head. Light soapy grassy nose. Light bodied. Very dry with crisp rounded mouthfeel. Caramel wakes up as it warms - the promised oaky undertones are very vague if there at all. FIniishes with hop induced bitterness. A very drinkable bitter.

500ml bottle from Booths, Knutsford. Copper colour with thin beige head. Some hay hop, some rose petal aroma. The best thing about this beer is that I drank it watching series II of Absolutely, the Scottish/Welsh sketch show from the early 1990’s. Beer has candy sugar, some pear drop hop on finish. Otherwise a bit empty. Pear drop aromatic bitter is fine. Didn’t get any of the promised oak.
