Bottle, 5%. Mild grainy aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is a little grainy, but not sour. Quite bland English ale. Not bad, but nothing special either.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Copper coloured with a dense white head; nutty malty aroma; sweet malt flavour, but rather thin; dry and nutty finish. An unexceptional bitter.

Cask conditioned handpull at Postal Order, JDW, Worcester. Chestnut colour lasting beige head. It’s alright, bit of biscuit on a normal bitter. Bit of yeast character on aroma. Not much hop on finish. Some toffee, some biscuit.
