Cask at the Black Horse, Thorndon, Suffolk. Pours a clear amber brown with a small white head. Aroma of mild hop, light caramel, and light tropical fruit. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, just a touch sour. Light body, quite thin texture, soft carbonation. Even appreciating this as low ABV bitter, there was little to it.

Handpull cask from the Townhouse, Ely. Light brown, translucent like very strong iced tea. Only a tiny bit of head. Light malty aroma, a bit nutty with candied apple and forest fruit. Intense and almost artifical sweetness in the taste, almost cloying. Some unbalanced bitter on the finish. Weak body. I donโt care for this all that much.

Cask at the Townhouse, Bedford. ยฃ2.50 a pint so you kind of have to. Golden brown with not all that much off-white head. Cedar, astringency, unripe forest fruit. Bittersweet and well balanced. The sharpness of the bitter is offset by a mild candied sweetness. Long and reasonably bitter finish. This is nice, and continues to be enjoyable over the course of the pint.

Bottle from Beautiful Beers, Bury St. Edmunds for the train home after a day at the East Anglian beer festival. Poured a dark amber colour with an average sized white head. Aroma of caramel, malt and fruit. Light sweetness, medium bitterness. Malty bitterness to finish, medium bodied but with a thin weak texture. Carbonation quite flat. Not the best beer to finish on.
