On cask at The Two Trees micropub in Watford, Herts. A dark golden/straw coloured pour with a medium bubbly white head on top. Bitter, hoppy, citrus, orange action. Typical Oakham, it's fine.

Fra cask på The Mossy Well sammen med Stephen: klar gylden med fint gardinskum som varer så lenge det skal være. Floral, skogaktig og lettdrikkelig med fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

Fra cask på The Mossy Well: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Mild aroma og god smak med mye citrus, furunål/eukalyptus, urter og noe floralt. Mild bitterhet i avslutningen, lett å drikke og like lett å glemme.

Cask at the Gidea Park Taproom. Clear gold beer, small bubbly offers white head. Airy palate, a little dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a little milky sweetness. Soft pine. Forensic citrus. A light and semi dry finish. Dull as dishwater and the worst Oakham beer I can recall. Crushing disappointment.

Rather a dry and ashy CDA. Toothy roast, charred pine, bitter baking cocoa. Scorched earth and ashy dryness to finish. A sniff of dried citrus peel. Not bad.
