Beautiful copper colour, pretty big frothy white head, shows good retention throughout the last sips and leaves lots of laces on the sides of the glass. Soft and delicate aroma of nutty malts, backed by light floral and red fruit notes. Taste follows the aroma, though not vividly so. Nice bittersweet balance with a moderately bitter finish (slight resinous touch). Light to medium body with low to medium crispness, easy and quick but still decently creamy. Enjoyable

Cask at Ship & Whale, Rotherhithe. Copper amber colour, foam off white head leaving some lacing, aroma of malt & slight hop. Taste is malty with fruity earthy notes and light bitterness. Smooth, light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, quite OK.

Cask @ Sheperd Neame brewery visitor center. Rather clear amber body with a small off-white head. Mild aroma of floral and citric hops with some caramel malt. Flavor is soft malty, fruity and light bitterness. Medium body and a bit weak in aftertaste. OK session ale.

Cask at Tom Cribb, Shep’s, London. Pours clear copper with a sturdy, white foam head. Classic twig and berry nose, fuggles, some toasty bread. Light sweet flavor, mellow leafy bitterness, light dirt, faint tangy berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweet finish, some ashy leaves, dirt, burnt brown bread toast. Fairly bland, though not offensive.

Cask handpump at The Lamb, Farnham, Saturday 10th March 2012 Possibly the beer in the most spankingly good condition of the day. Pours a sort of copper colour amazing clarity. Ok its really just a nice session strength beer, little furry on tongue, steady bitterness, clean with a little dryness at the end, but it’s very good. A7 A5 T7 P3 Ov14 3.6
