Handpull cask at the Geldart, Cambridge. Brownish gold, clear, with very little head. Light aroma with some toffee, floral and bubblegum notes. Tastes pretty bitter and messy with notes of crabapple and a lot of papery grain. Finish is slightly less harsh, but there are none of the flavours promised in the aroma. Not poor but definitely below what I’d expect from such a respected brewer.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a burnt orange/copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off fairly quick. Stringy soapy lace.
The aroma had some estery sweet floral hops over top of buttered biscuits, somewhat cracker-like/touch of herbal.
The flavor was moderately sweet pulling the malts in front to even the keel of the overall taste surrounding the hops. Aftertaste was quaint, somewhat malty, buttery and soapy. Finish was quick and malty.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt low but expected. ABV felt good.
Overall, pretty good bitter with the diacetyl controlled enough to not be distracting. Probably be a good one for Americans to give a shit before delving into the world of Bitters.

Hazy Amber orange color topped by a medium sized rocky beige head. Soft, citrusy, earthy malt aroma has hints of tea and nuts. Flavor is light and refreshing with notes of brewed tea and toasted malt. Slightly tart malty middle. Light herbal hop finish is dry and chewy.
