Hazed pale golden color with a white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a quite flat carbonation level. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Herbal, some floral notes and malty. Not really that exciting.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Golden and clear with a tiny bit of white head caused by the natural carbonation. Low aroma of hay with a little bit of sulphur. Simple bittersweet taste with slightly sulphurous edges. It's a simple little bitter. Not bad stuff at all but it doesn't have bags of character.
