Bottle at home from the Co Op in Winterton. Good pour with a light colour in the glass. Taste is a lager and it does look like one. And it means I didn't chill it enough. It's nothing special.

Bottle found in the Co-Op in Winterton on Sea. Reasonable pour with bitter hops on the nose. Malt, bitter hops and caramel on the nose. Not much depth and a bitnof cardboard. Really not great, but still drinkable.

500ml bottle from Co-Op at Cambridge North station. Pours black with an off-white head. Trad stout profile, fairly light bodied, soft roasty dark malt with dark fruits rising from the ashes on the finish, tobacco linger. Not bad.

500ml bottle from YouDrink. Amber gold colour, thin white foam head and aroma of toasted malt, grains. Taste is sweetish malty, bready, grain, molasses, toffee, caramel, fruity and with some earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry malty bitter finish. Quite OK

Cask at Grey Friar, Preston. Pours golden yellow with a small white head and excellent lacing. The aroma exudes a general sweetness with citrus and oranges noted. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with lemon and floral hops plus traces of orange and underlying grains. Later on some bitterness creeps in leading to a slightly sharp and dry finish. Not the usual sort of beer I go for but this is quite nice – I have a soft spot for Mauldons beers. However, I would call this a golden ale or pale rather than a standard bitter.

Cask at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, 07/10/23. Pale golden blonde with a decent lasting white cap. Nose is grass, lemon rind, straw, grains. Taste comprises toasted grains, light breads, hedgerow, straw, crackers. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable cask offering ... not much going on.
