Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Reddish gold and war with a small foamy beige head. Aroma of distant forest fruit and a hint of fig. Sweet taste, more berry notes, with an astringent bittering hop in the finish. I do love Branscombe Vale but this beer isn't their best.

Half-pint, cask, shared with Finn at Alehouse. (Reading 20.10.2019). Filmy layer, scattered lacing, clear amber-gold body. Ripe fruity hops on the nose. Taste of grainy grass and ripe fruits. Satisfying bitter endnotes. Fair enough.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] An amber pour with a thin cream head that leaves a pleasant pattern as the glass empties; biscuity malt aroma; fruity malt taste; and a rather thin biscuity finish, like a cheap Garibaldi - the sort with too little filling.
