Perfectly-kept cask at the Lamp Tavern, Birmingham on 30th December 2016. Crystal clear amber with thick, lasting creamy-white foam. Hoppy, yeasty aroma with sweet malts. Rich and intense bitterness in-mouth. A solid, full-on bitter finish. Light mouthfeel and body. Absolutely exquisite.

Cask at the Crown & Trumpet, Broadway, labelled as Broadway Artists Ale. Gold with a thick white head. Rather bland; just a little citrus and dusty straw. The moderate bitterness in the finish added little to what was a somewhat underwhelming brew, albeit one that was inoffensive, smooth and easy to quaff.
