Cask@GBBF 2009. Amber color, small beige head. Light nutty aroma. Light caramel, some woody hops. Decent body for 3.7% beer. Simple and uninspiring. A bit too sweet for being even a session beer.

Bottled@The Rake, London. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel, spices, some fruity and floral hops as well as some wood. Flavour is caramel, some fruits, floral hops as well as mild spiced notes. Wellbalanced, and probably fits the Christmas foodtable rather well.

Cask@GBBF2009. Ambery golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, grass, wood and mildly fruity. All this in a very mild/weak way. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather mellow and bland.

Bottle conditioned (at Chriso, BB 12/2009, bottle from Utobeer). Pale amber color, small white head. Grainy nose. Grainy and grassy flavor, a bit malty aftertaste. Tastes more like a lager than an ale.

Cask at the Old Fox, Birmingham on the evening of December 29th, 2008. Clean, fresh, textured bitter, pale gold with great clarity of body and a foamy head which dissipates medium term. Thirstquenching, rounded with hop in the aftertaste - not fantastic but a good first drink.
