Cask at EBF April. Opaque amber. Thin bubbly white head provides a very thin band. Aroma has low key citrus and malts. Flavourwise we have a bitter streak quinine and resin- and underlying caramel. Spice. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Old school but characterful.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An attractive bright copper coloured pour with a thin cream head; malty aroma with a hint of spice; smooth in the mouth with a sweet malty body and a gentle hedgerow hop bitterness; then a nutty malt finish. A rather good Brown Ale, worth savouring.

500ml bottle from Lapworth Wines. Glowing clear gold with off white head, nice lasting top. Aroma is bready malts, light spice and floral. Taste is caramel, some doughy notes with a strong grassy to floral hoppy bitterness which grows to the finish with a slight tanginess. Dry and somewhat astringent. Not great but not terrible.
