Cask at the William Webb Ellis, Twickers, 04/05/13. Clear golden/amber with a good sized white head. Nose is light fart, malt, summer fruits. Taste comprises citrus, orange, summer fruit, light malt notes, more depth than the rather thin nose. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff.

Bright golden brown body under a thin layer. Pleasant aroma of biscuit malts. Light spicy hops in flavour with a vague caramel malty support and some notes of berries. Dry bitter end (gravicask at Reading BF, sampled with Finn, 02.05.2008).

Cask conditioned at the Victoria, Eastleach Gloucs 8/5/2007. Deep gold colour with slight head. This had a lot more hops than other Arkells beers, meaning the pint was better balanced with grassy notes to complement the caramel malt. Good.

Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Golden colour, with flowery hoppy nose, caramel in mouth with astringent flowery hops on end. Some lemony hoppy citric acidity, some earthiness. Interesting
