[Cask at Archery Tavern, Paddington, London] A nut brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of nuts - a quite faint aroma. The flavor is sweet nutty and fruity.

[At Archery Tavern, Paddington, London] A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty, and so is the flavor, though with a slightly hoppy end. Drinkable, but I rather have an ale in London and a real HB in other places.

[At Achery Tavern, Paddington, London] A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and slightly malty, while the flavor is sweet malty with light notes of hay, and with a thin body. I’m not impressed.
