A special beer for a special birthday. Brewed in 2007, the year Daniel Thwaites celebrated its bi-centenary, this amber-coloured ale is full of hoppy flavours with an orange zest finish.

Thin white head. Amber body. Faint malty resiny aroma. Dry straw and resin taste with hoppy floral notes. Chalky, sharpish mouthfeel. A bit watery. No real aftertaste. A bit one-dimensional. Still very drinkable. (0.5pt cask at Windsor Castle (the pub, that is.))

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity hops with some wooden hints. Flavour is caramel, malts, sweet fruity hops and some sour wood. As a whole a very wellbalanced thing, that keeps you happy for a while.

A very nice example of an English bitter. Poors copper with a small amount of off-white head. Tast is a good balance between malt and hop flavours. Enjoyable out of a bottle, even better on hand-pump.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a white head; rather wheaty aroma; initial taste is of oranges, and rather sweet and creamy, thereโs then a punch of bitter orange, leading to a rather sweet and insipid ending. Good in parts. Cask at the Bell and Harp, Coxbench, Derbyshire. Straw with a creamy white head; smooth and creamy with citrus flavours and a honey sweetness; gently bitter finish. Excellent.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour with thin white head. Slightly soapy/syrupy premium bitter. I fear Iโve ruined my taste buds as all the beer tonight tasted nice. Syrupy alcohol is tangeriney. Decent hop finish. Fine.
