Cask at The Cricketers, Keighley, West Yorkshire, 04-05-07. Poured dark brown, some cocoa notes but other than that it had very little to say, in fact I wrote very little about it at all, still I drank it and it was pleasant enough.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 2007. Dark brown with no head. Dullish dark mild, not much flavour. Some dark toffee, but mostly tasteless water. But it’s a mild, what do you expect?

Cask handpull at Cherry Tree, Haddenham. Pale copper colour with lasting off white head. Smoke/earthy orange citrus hop aroma, some yeast, but the aroma is about the tangerine/orange earthy hop. Reasonable fullness in mouth, some sweet juicy malt. Nice swallow with more orange tangerine/clementine. Some hop on end. Some dryness, more fruit on finish. Pleasant easy drinking bitter.

Bottle, picked up at Tuckers Maltings, Newton Abbott 14-11-06. Golden in colour, whilst there were hops obviously present throughout, it wasn’t not as hoppy as I was hoping for. This was fine enough but ultimately a bit unexciting.
