Cask at the Cambridge Blue, 11-10-08 Pours mid amber with a thin white head. Some tangy but dusty hops show, little bit of woodiness, lacking in a bitter punch, this aside its fine enough.

Cask at the Woolpack Beer Festival 08, Banbury, Oxon, in the company of Glen, Trev and a good sprinkling of local CAMRA members Had this beer on the recommendation of Glen and a good solid shout that was from him. Poured dark brown with light beige head. Smooth chocolate comes to the fore, there is some smokiness but I found that it was quite subtle. Some fruitiness (dark fruits) not particularly bitter, there is some ashtray on the nose now, good tang decent beer.

Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 08-10-08 Pours mid amber with a slight haze and a white head, it looks decent enough. Some soapy hops in the mouth, very soft feeling, restrained but ever present bitterness and yes I suppose there is a simple bread like quality to this beer, its ok. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0 Had this once again on Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 06-07-09 Pours dark amber with a thin white head. There is plenty of flavour for the abv. Bitter and fruity and once again I get the bread like quality to this beer, its good stuff marked up on re-rate. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.4
