Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar, JDW, Bristol. The previous review sums this one up perfectly. Copper coloured, with plenty of chewy malts and a rough, rural edge. Drinkable though.

Cask at the Brewery Tap, Derby. Amber with a thin white head; fruity aroma; dry and biscuity with some orange sweetness; and a sweet finish. Not very exciting.

Cask at GBBF08. Clear copper colour. No aroma. Fruity flavour, hint of honey. Quite boring.

Cask (Central Bar JDW,Cardiff) - Golden in colour. Malty aroma with light hoppy and fruity notes. Slightly musty taste with fruity and hoppy notes. Drinkable but could be more exciting but decent value at the price.

Cask@GBBF2008. Orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, yeast and very mild notes of vegetables. Flavour is about the same, yet making a quite nice balanced and drinkable beer of it.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 6 Aug 2008) Pale amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with apricots and orange. Fruity taste with notes of apricots and biscuity malt. Fairly low bitterness, body below medium. Hardly exciting, but still a decent bitter.

Cask conditioned in a JDW, Newport. Golden coloured with a decent off-white head. Sweet, grainy malt aroma followed by a similar flavour and decent bitter finish. Good value at £1.29 a pint.

Cask handpull at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Old gold colour with lasting beige head. Bit of odd coffee to this, some caramel, bit of diacetyl maybe. Very good condition, odd coffee cake flavour with walnuts makes this a very attractive beer to drink

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Copper colour with lasting beige head. Floral hop, some yeast, fairly light malts. Some caramel, some hop bite on finish. Yeah, it’s ok, but not a stunning bitter.
