Cask at Wellington, Brum. Aroma combines juicy fruit and malts. Clear dark amber. Foamy white head soon develops a thin spot. Flava is citrusy, sour. Fruity streak. Sugary but returns to bitterness. Light-medium bodied.. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. NICE BUT NO WOHAAWOHAAHWOAAA.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, malt, light yeasty, big floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
