[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright amber pour with a scant white head; gentle spicy aroma; smooth and syrupy in the mouth with a bittersweet taste; and a dry bready finish. Rather disappointing.

On cask. Appearance - amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - nougat, toffee, floral honey. Taste - chewy toffee, light hazelnut or almond. Honey again. Burnt brown bread. Palate - light bodied, creamy carbonation and roasty bitterness on the finish. Overall - delightful nose, palate OK.

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours golden amber with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s marmalade and biscuits in the aroma. The mouthfeel is a mix of traditional hops and malts with flavours of oranges and nuts initially. Later there are some hints of ginger and spices too. Finish is slightly bitter and spicy. This is decent.

Hand-pulled pint on 15th October 2023, watching England v Fiji in the World Cup quarter final at the Wrekin Inn, Wellington. Misty light golden body, snow white billowing head. Citrusy nose and taste, semi-bitter with a mild malty input, weak bitterness and a bit bland to be honest.

Clear and golden with a bubbly/frothy white head and light malt and a hint of floral hop on the nose. Fresh and crisp with floral bitterness, a kick of citrus and a light malt backbone
