Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a dense cream head; fruity aroma; biscuity malt flavour; and a crisp tangy hoppy finish. A pleasant, easy-drinking, bitter.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, red-gold pour with a weak head. Basic toasted malt nose. Mildly sweet flavor, sun-kissed bread, grassy and floral bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mostly bitter finish with some toasty bread. The hops linger. Decent, very straight-ahead bitter.

Half, cask at Angel (JDW). Partly hazy, golden body. Film-type layer, lace rings to the glassware. Fresh smell of orange-like hops. Resinous bitter taste profile, hints of toasted malts. Smooth and lingering finish. Medium bodied. Not more than a standard IPA, but a satisfying partner with the food (London, 20.03.2011).

[Cask at Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Light amber, moderate lasting white head, slight fizz. Earth and straw bitterness parts to reveal an orangey sweetness behind. OK, but failed to wow me.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 22/02/2011. Deep amber in colour with a frothy off-white head. Grassy hop aroma with some orange fruit and sweetness. Flavour was buttery, which took the edge off some citrus fruit and dryish finish. Disappointing beer from Acorn.
