Gravity cask condition, The Chambers, Folkestone. Copper colour with lasting beige head. Soft bitter. Slightly creamy. Bit of farty yeast. As I say, soft in mouth. Some hop. It’s fine, good defined flavours, just not hugely exciting.

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol. Golden with long-lasting off-white head. Slight aroma of apricots. Flavour was of fruity malt with a hoppy finish. Ok, but extra alcohol didn’t add much.
