Worth ordering as it has a good body and texture, but disappointingly not much plum in its flavours.

Half pint, 4 % abv, served comfortably chilled from cask at The Grey Horse. Clear golden body covered by a low, patchy head leaving fragile lacing behind. Grass and green tea to the nose. Fresh fruit hoppy flavour sustained by mild honey sweetness. Smooth, long-loved bitter tail. Clean tasting and very refreshing (Manchester, 07.07.2012).

Half, hand pulled, excellent cask quality at the Grey Horse. Clear copper body colour. Spotty lacing to the glassware. Leafy hops to the nose. Bitter resin-like hops to the taste buds added by a mild malty sweetness. Plain bitter finish. A good, standard Brit bitter ale (Manchester, 07.07.2012).

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Clear amber beer. Light crisp dry palate. Some dry biscuity malt. Mild bitter hops - dark orange and pineapple. Quite well balanced. Some bubblegum in the finish.
