Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 15/07/10. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Bready malts with a touch of damson fruit, and trace of chocolate powder. Flavour was sweetish with some fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good.

Good, fluffy, light-yellow head over light golden, clear (or ought I to say "bright"?) beer. Very nice grapey hops, bit of dishtowel, honey - and hops again, US ones. Very bitter head, hoppy, getting into a superb hoppy taste, grapey hops, fresh citrus, more dishwater (not disturbing, however), and a very spritzy MF. Light bodied, but giving an impression of density and alcohol, that widely surpasses its modest 4% ABV. British in alcohol, American in flavour - profuse thanks to Ewan McD for this true gem! I can only try to imagine how this must be on a well-cared for cask...

Cask@GBBF2009. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, fruits and some mild bready malty notes. Flavour is mild diacetyl, some lemon as well as some strange sweet birchsappylike notes.

[i] Cask at The National Winter Ales Festival, Manchester 2007 [/i] Poured golden in colour with fruits and hops on nose, some honey and tangerine present themselves in the mouth and a reasonably dry and bitter finish, but I think this was starting to tire as it wasn’t as crisp or fresh as it could have been.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 2007. Golden with lasting white head. Golden, slightly buttery, hoppy beer, bit dusty on finish. Really tasty actually. NIce suppable bitter. Good citrus tangy/zesty finish.
