Half pint from the cask at The Broad Face, Abingdon. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aromas & tastes of grapefruit, flora, citrus & hops. Moderate body. Dry light bitter finish.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours dark brown with a medium sized foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is not very prominent, but has hints of bitterness and cinnamon. In the mouth there is a fair amount of bitterness but with a little underlying sweetness. Malts and dark fruits to the fore in the flavour with some traditional hops coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is quite nice.

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham. Not too keen on this one, it had a very malty-twiggy-nuttiness to it which was not for me. Some light fruitiness in the middle. Nice smoothness, drying finish, good lacing.

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A reddish chestnut colour with a tight white head; aroma of berries and plums; dry, fruity malt body; with a light spicy bitterness to finish.
