Cask@Bishops Stortford Beer Festival 2010. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is caramel, honey, some toffee and mild spicyness. Flavour is honey, caramel malts, some mild bready notes as well as herbs. A very balanced brew, although being quite on the sweet side.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Gold colour. Hoppy aroma, some sweetness in the mouth. Oddly tastes of puke slightly like lager malt puke.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 28/10/09. Pale amber with a slight white head. Aroma of summer fruits, sweet cereals and a vaguely sour edge. Flavour was a mix of fruit, biscuit malts, caramel and earthiness with a moderately bitter finish. An ok effort from a new brewery, but could do with a touch of refinement.
