Deep copper coloured, strong bitter. Packed full of malty character and dry, lingering hoppy finish. Not too sweet as some stronger ales are.

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 Square Peg, Birmingham
Amber color, with small but persistent creamy head. Simple Bitter, with some acidity in the aroma, and a dusty flavor.
Probably not in good conditions.

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.
