Cask at the Theatre Bar, Birmingham. Clear light straw coloured pour with a thin persistent white head. Pretty nondescript dry dusty aroma leading to a very smooth bitter taste which I must say was not to my liking. The beer was all about the bitterness and for me it just doesn't work.

Cask, gravity at the Beer Tent, Bromyard Folk Festival, Bromyard, Herefordshire Friday 7th September 2012 Pours gold with a good streaky lemony citrus rush, dry at end good bitterness througout. Loz is a big fan of this, and I guess being brewed with NZ hops is the draw for her. I like it, nice fruity good golden beer. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Golden color. The aroma is mild, minimum toffee and caramel. Simple flavor, some malt, with a cheesy end, French soft cheese; correct bitterness; quite dry and weak.
Drinkable and fresh, but simple.

Cask at Wellington, Birmingham
Black color, creamy head. The aroma has mild roasted malts, a bit dusty, with some grilled bread. Smooth and dry mouthfeel; it has a very nice flavor of roasted malt and dark chocolate, fresh, elegant; some more roastiness in the final, with some freshly brewed coffee.
Excellent cask Stout.
