Poured like a Boddingtons pub can. Orange amber color with a huge white head. Malty aroma with floral hop. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Malt is matched by lots of hop with a hint of hot spice - perhaps some noble hop? Finish leaves bitter on the tongue, and the fruity florality is in every sip. Brilliant.

Cask at the Burton Bridge Inn. Amber with a creamy white head; sour grainy aroma; thick and oily in the mouth, with smooth butterscotch and citrus flavours; and a citrus finish. Unusual, but extremely drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Bristol 10/5/08. Chestnut coloured with a slight head. Light aroma of caramel and red fruit. Flavour was sweetish with a short, dry finish. Did not stand out in any way.

Cask at the Smithfield, Derby. Polished magohany with a creamy tan head; milky coffee aroma; flavour is fruity and sweet to start, with traces of blackberries, but also plum and damson, thick and chewy; moving to a dry roast coffee finish.
