Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 16/7/08. Deep amber with a moderate, off-white head. Malty, red fruit and caramel aroma. Flavour began with a short burst of fruity sweetness before some earthy hops kicked in leading to a decent bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Deep amber, thick off white head. A toasty bitter with some balancing acidity and yeast. Good condition. A yeasty best bitter with plenty of character. Even a bit of farmyard to the yeast. Clearly not great, but interesting.

Cask handpull at Charles Dickens, London. Deep copper, thin beige head. Yeasty aroma. Some fruity malt and more yeast in mouth. Fine in mouth. Malts come through well. Yeast gives it character. Drying hop/malt/yeast balanced finish. A yeasty best bitter that ticks all the boxes. Bit of jellied orange there too. Fine.
