Cask at the Clarendon Arms, Cambridge. Clear, light honey brown. Very little head. Scent of nuts, toast, bit of wood shavings. Taste is a crisp, clean bitter with a slight hoppy bite in the finish. Body is fuller than would be expected. This is a very very good basic bitter. Surprisingly good. And that’s my 46 English counties, done in style.

Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear copper-ruby with a frothy beige head. Very nice beer, with good toasted malts, orange rind, wholegrain toast. Light bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Lovely finish, well balanced, with mild earthy bitterness, more toasted grains, some dried caramel sweetness. Very good stuff.
