Cask at the Claude De Val (JDW), Camberley - 18/08/12. Pours a slightly obscured copper/orange with a very thin white head. Strong malts on the nose and a little orange. Strong malty taste as per the nose and a background of citrus fruit orange and grapefruit predominating and a little toffee/butter. Light to medium body - easy drinking not bad.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a thin off-white head; spicy hop aroma; rich and buttery in the mouth with an odd malty taste; the finish has some spicy and vegetable-like hops. Odd, but OK.
