Pleasant winter warmer despite being smooth and crisp, and only having subtle fruit flavours.

Cask at the Tilly Shilling (JDW), Farnborough. Amber with a loose cream head; red fruit aroma; soft with a watery red fruit flavour; then some shortlived dry earthy hops; leaving an unexciting dry finish.
