Cask-conditioned at the Robert Fitzharding (JDW), Bedminster, Bristol 10/10/2002. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Leafy hops, caramel and some apricot in the aroma. Flavour had biscuity malts, with some digestive fruitiness, a touch more fruit and led to a lingering, bitter, finish. Good.
