(Cask at Edgar Wallace, Strand, London, 18 July 2011) Golden amber colour with brief, beige head. Fruity nose with orange peel, biscuits and earthy hops. Fruity, slightly malty taste with notes of apricots, orange marmalade and slightly earthy hops in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Quite nice.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear gold pour with a thick, foamy head. Weak malt aroma, some earth and bread. Flavor has a dry smokiness to it, lightly sweet, faint and tangy citrus. Light in body with fine carbonation. More smoke in finish, bit of mineral quality, light malts, beachwood. Odd but pretty decent.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear garnet pour, soft head. Toasty malt nose with some leaves. Lightly sweet flavor, with sharp, toasty and almost smokey malts, then some herbal, leafy bitterness. Light in body with fine carbonation. Crisp, dry hop finish, citric and slightly astringent, with subtle malt sugar. Not bad.
