Bottled. A copper colored beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is of caramel, cream, herbs, and a bit of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, but also some cream - a bit like candy, but soon a very bitter hoppy note comes along with a light note of herbs. The bitterness runs along the side of the tongue, and leaves it very dry in the end.

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoons. Copper colour with lasting bubbly off white head. Very earthy Fuggles through out. Really quite bitter on finish, bit of blue cheese too, in fact really quite stiltony. Malt is ok, but cold back the hop up more. Lovely blue cheese, would go well with crackers, this pint. Really quite bitter and drying. Good condition and tasted fresh.3.6/5.0 Re-rate at Kent BF 08. Brilliant malty session bitter that just isn’t made now. Nothing flashy but it’s just great, lovely subtle fruit

Cask conditioned at The Monks’ Retreat, Reading A golden coloured pint with a good cream head; medium bodied and well balanced with a citric bitterness and a pleasing finish. A very well crafted bitter.

Cask at The Six Bells St. Albans 27 Sep 06. Golden coloured. Hardly any head. Caramellish aroma & flavour. Dull. The beer was probably not at it’s best.
