Cask dispense into an English half pint jug at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, Jan ’12. Pours a clear copper to amber colour with a thin white head. Sweet faint malts in the aroma, but not a lot coming out of the glass in terms of smell. On the palate, toffee, citrus - orange/grapefruit, fairly sweet tasting and not too bitter. Medium in body.

Drank at the Bateman’s brewery beer fest, late May 2007. Poured into a half pint sleeve glass, dispensed by gravity, it had no head, I do like to see a bit of foam, or a wisp of something when I take a beer, but this didn’t seem to matter this time. The amber liquid looked happy enough without the need for a covering. Hoppy and citrus flavours in the aroma, these carried on into the taste, some bitterness in there too. A good beer.

This review is from the 30th CAMRA Cotswold beer Fest (2006). Up against Bateman’s Dark Mild, it came second in my opinion. Red-Black in colour with no head (it was gravity feed into my glass, by a lady who was not too great at the job). The aroma was there, but you had to search for it, roasted malt maybe, a touch of berry’s, not sure which type. Tasted like a Mild should, malty and a hint of caramel. I will have another if our paths cross, but I will not be searching high and low for it!

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours dark amber to brown. The nose is initially quite expressive with resin and toffee being the main thing. The taste has more of the same. As the pint goes down, the flavours generally seem to become flatter. The palate is medium bodied and textured with quite a cloying finish. Overall, not for me, I’m afraid.
