Cask-conditioned at the Llandogger Trow, Bristol. Amber coloured with moderate white head. Slight caramel aroma followed by hints of fruit in the flavour. Inoffensive, but there are vastly superior session bitters around.

Bottle. Brown-red with slight head. Fruity aroma followed by a sweet malt flavour with some hops in the finish. Unremarkable.

Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration and a nice hoppy dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Good balance beer.

The can poured clear copper with decent white head. The aroma has some big malts of the pale variety, caramel malts, biscuit malts and virtually no hops. A bit of a disappointment right from the start. Also this beer has “IPA” on the label in a huge font yet ratebeer has it listed as bitter. Might really be a mild. As it warmed a bit I’m getting sweet butterscotch in the nose. The carbonation is low and softens what little flavor there is. The taste is much like the smell, pity. I get pale malts, hints of caramel, biscuit, butterscotch and a mild vague bitterness. Thoroughly disappointing product.

Cask at The George Inn, Southwark. Not much aroma. Nice amber color with ferocious white head. Starts a bit fruity, seems peachy. A little malt follows, and the finish is rather dry and nicely bitter.

Cask at The Horseshoe Inn, Southwark. Couldn’t get much aroma. Maybe citrus. Deep amber color with orange hilites. A sour hint of grapefruit, puckerish, malt is present, but doesn’t last the finish, which is a bit woody and definitely bitter. Very nice.

Bottle. Pour is clear amber with some garnet with a decent light tan head. Aroma was faint, but some malt to it. Taste is sweet malt, some plum fruit taste and really nice bitterness in the finish. As this warms, the aroma opens up a bit. Overall a very nice beer.
