Cask at Smithfield Hotel, Manchester. A light golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt - but very light. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also lighter notes of herbs and hops. The body is light. Boring.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Chestnut in colour with a thin cream head; aroma of sour plums and woodsmoke; rather austere in the mouth, lacking the expected depth of body for an Old Ale - clean flavours of chestnut and purple fruit, lacking sweetness; the finish is dry and smoky, leaving an unmistakable metallic taint of overboiled sprouts. Good in parts (as the curate said to the vicar).

Bottled. A hazy brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, and so is the flavor, though added light notes of acidity and nuts, leading to a bitter finish where light notes of plums and rum appears.
