Cask gravity at Colchester BF 2011. Mid gold with thin white head. Butter and caramel on aroma. I was fearing diacetyl and although there is some butter it works ok. In fact its a decent session bitter. Some soft bitterness on the finish. Fine. Some decent caramel flavours.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 14th October 2010. Amber with a whitish head of foam. Light hop aroma and grassy hop-bitterness in-mouth. Lingering moderate whole-mouth bitterness in finish, and a light textured mouthfeel.

[500ml bottle-conditioned from Larners, Holt, Norfolk] Pours pale amber-orange with a large, frothy white head. Overly fizzy. Sweet, fresh fruity aroma. Taste is strangely different to the aroma - a biscuitty malt with a slightly spicy, bitter finish. Quite bland actually, and the fizziness was annoying.
