Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light grainy malt, hop bitter. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light watery fruity, woody resin hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, 27/9/2016. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Digestive malts, hedgerow fruits, leafy hops and a touch of earthiness, before a decent, bitter, finish. Good.
