Realised I'd never rated this, so let's do it. Looks good in the glass. This is a proper, old school bitter - hops and malt with a bit of caramel. Very drinkable, but will never set the world on fire.

Bottle. Clear dark orange/brown with a small white head. Aroma of malts, nuts and raisins. Taste of caramel, nuts, chocolate, toffee, a hint of oranges, raisins and herbs. Distinctive herbal bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Almost creamy mouthfeel. Well I certainly enjoyed this one.

Cask at Justice Mill, Aberdeen. Asked for something else but I was poured this.... New tick at least. It pours a fairly deep amber - copper with a sturdy off - white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, caramel, toffee, dried fruits, toasted fruit cake and some damp earth. The taste is of a similar ilk... bitter - sweet, dry, earthy, woody, nutty, toffee, caramel, dried fruits / berries and some kind of fairly acrid, ashy bitterness which leaves a funny taste in the mouth through the finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A bit of a mixed bag. Some decent elements to it, but also a weird burnt vibe.

Keg at the Crown, Hazlemere, 01/06/24. Clesr golden blonde with a white head, carbonation evident. Nose is sweet edged citric zest, pale malts, bread dough, almost a buttery edge. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, slightly artificial, airy malts, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with a modicum of hop bitterness. Faux craft ... overly sweet and flabby .. one was enough.

Can, gift from Mum. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of Lilt, candied orange and white grape. Flavour of white candy sticks and orange jelly. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. It’s a touch sweet but it’s much better than I thought it would be.
