Half of cask from Wellington, Birmingham. Clear light amber with foamy white head. Mid-sweet and low to mid bitterness. Nice malty biscuit and caramel notes with mild grassiness. Simple but fairly tasty. Slight yeasty tang in the finish.

500ml bottle drank in Wellington Market on 28th August 2021. Clean and clear golden body, white head. Light malty aroma, mild hop bitterness in the taste, not AJ's finest!

18/5/2019. Bottle from Tipplers Bewdley, shared at the Warsaw GP beer share. Pours clear bright pale amber with a moderate sized off-white head. Very nice looking pour. Aroma of malt, hops, caramel, grass, fruit and flowers. Medium plus sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Sweet caramel finish. Quite good.
