Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a deep brown colour with a reddish hue and a frothy tan head. The aroma is weak malt leading to a weak bitter flavour with a slightly sweet red berry fruit palate and not so much of the oatmeal as I expected. A super smooth ale and the right ABV for a session.

Cask @ Haymarket, Edinburgh [300413]
Amber, clear, thin white head, good lacing
Aroma of sweet fruity malts, floral aromatic hops, some orange and pine
Taste of sweet fruity malts, orange malts, touch of cake mix, floral hops, touch aromatic, lots of sweet caramelly fruity malts masking the hops underneath, too malty and under hoppy for an APA
Palate - Medium body, sweet, quite sticky, fairly oily. Finish as main flavour, rather dry
Overall - Not overly hoppy and too malty for an APA but overall it isn’t bad

Cask at the Chequers, Oxford on 24th April 2013. Clear copper almost without head or lacing. Malty aroma with some cheesiness initially. Lemon citrus and orange/lemon peel in-mouth. Sweet malts and lemony citrus in finish, on a mouthfeel that was light but not flat. Have had better.

Cask at the Seven Stars, Rugby, 03/04/13. Clear golden amber with a good sized off white head that retains well. Lacing ensues. Nose is pale malt, citrus, lemon, touch caramel, hops. Taste comprises much the same, pale malt, orange sherbet, light sugars, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Ok drinkable GB but easily forgettable as so many 3.0-3.2 rates are !

Half pint shared with Finn, cask at JDW Waterhouse. Clear amber coloured body. Filmy layer, fragile lace. Smell of caramel malts and leafy hops. Malty-fruity taste with a marmalade impression leading to a nice bittersweet finish. Fits the bitter style very well (Manchester, 27.01.2013).
