500ml bottle from Bitter Virtue: BB 5th May 2024. Drank on the balcony of my cabin while at sea on Britannia, 12th June 2022. Slight haze to my golden pour, as I allowed some sediment to leave the bottle. Light citrus front to the nose and initial taste, the malts coming through with a sweetness early too. The finish was a harsh hop bitterness and it all seemed a bit 'underwhelming' and 'green'. Maybe I should have aged the beer a year or so to let it mature a while.

Cask at Archie's. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick, fluffy carbonation. The aroma is honeyed grain, cereal, grassy, hay, rich tea biscuits, digestive biscuits and some nuttiness. The taste is dry, light grassy bitterness, bitter - sweet, smooth creaminess, sweet biscuity malt base, waxy, grainy, honeyed grain and a touch of sharpness. Average carbonation and lively, fluffy carbonation. A touch sharp on the taste, but love the condition. Decent.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford.Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a generous foamy cream head and good lacing. There’s a suble aroma of malts to this one. Malts again in the mouth, plus Olde English Spangles, and later on liquorice comes to the fore, together with some hints of blackberries. The texture is smoothy and creamy, and flavour is slightly sweet overall. Malts are dominant in the finish. This is really rather nice.

Bitter edge. Cloves. A touch of citrus. Quite quinine. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. A gold with a dose of quinine bitterness. Not a fan at all.
