Cask-conditioned, on gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2018. Deep amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A sweet beer, with red berries, ripe malts, caramel, and a touch of leafy hop leading to a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Old Neptune, Whitstable on 7th May 2016. Copper with thin dying off white film and almost no lacing. Malty caramel aroma. Caramel malts and berry fruits in-mouth. Nutty, malty finish with some slight vast fruitiness. Smooth, flattish mouthfeel with medium body.

Cask at The Duke of Wellington, Chelsea. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, fruity, dull caramel, bread and malt loaf. The taste is crisp, mellow bitterness, caramel, toasted grain, good fresh fruity character and tangy berry with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Perfectly pleasant drinking and the best of the Shep Neame’s beers I had on the day.

Cask, clear daek amber, small creamy offwhite head. Light caramel aroma. Malty, caramel flavour, hoppy notes. Sweetish. No carb. Not impressive but refreshing.

Cask half pint at the Cask and Glass, London Victoria. Copper colour, moderate white head. Typical Shepherd Neame house character in the aroma, a special combination of malty and fruity. The flavour is fairly dry, some malts with nutty and biscuity notes. A little more of the Early Bird hops would not hurt.
