Gravity poured half-pint in the Halfway House, Pitney (Somerset) on Monday 13th November 2023. Clean light amber body, decent white head. All a bit subtle and weak really, it is only 3.4% ABV of course but it didn't really do anything for me, some hop action, but very little bitterness or aroma.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; malty aroma with some fruit; berry taste with a biscuity malt body; and then a peppery bitterness to finish. A straightforward, tasty, golden ale.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Very dark brown and only a little bit translucent with a small even beige head. Dark malt aroma, a little sourness, some chocolate biscuit. Taste is sweet at first with a sour bitterness in the finish. Smooth body with no carbonation. A fairly complex yet easy-drinking stout.

From cask. Pours a bit darker blonde. Small white, stable head. Scent is mild, touch honey. Malty. Taste is very soft, rich english style malts. A honey side to it ' whats in a name !) that doesn't taste like the aged factor than can give honey. easy drinker. Very decent.
