19/7/2024. Cask at the 2024 Chelmsford Summer Beer & Cider Festival. 4.3% abv. Pours clear bright amber with a frothy pure white head. Aroma is fruity, orange, biscuit, malt, stone fruits, spicy hints. Medium sweetness, moderate but developing bitterness. Moderate body, oily, soft carbonation. Nice fruity bittersweet finish. Likeable. Seems to have improved post-Covid looking at previous ratings.

Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoon's on 24th Jan 2020 (Burns Night tomorrow). Amber body with a creamy head in colour and texture, some good heavy lacing too. Strange taste, no real aroma; rough, earthy maltiness with a dry bitter feel along with a metallic twang.

Cask at The Cock Taverna. It pours clear amber with a small bubbly head. The aroma is rich spiced character, earthy, toasted nut, wood, leather and cereal. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, spice, leaves, bit of mature cheddar almost, caramel and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Old skool ale, which has a pleasant spiced character. Not bad.

Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours clear copper-orange with a small, foamy white head. Lightly toasted grains in the nose, dried orange peel, a few leaves. Light sweet flavour with grassy bitterness, husky grains, more aged citrus peel. Light bodied with fine carbonation; nice condition. Finishes with more grassy-leafy notes, toasted grains. Fine overall.

On cask @ the Grosvenor. Appearance - golden with a light haze and a nicely proportioned head. Nose - lemon and grapefruit and zesty. Taste - all about citrus pith and zest no fruit. Lemon zest and pith mostly. Palate - light bodied with a lean tight zingy texture and a long dry finish. A bit too bitter for my palate. Overall - a bit one dimensional but decent.
