Cask at the Jolly Anglers, Reading. Chestnut coloured with a small white head; heady malty aroma; full bodied with a sweet fruity malttaste; short slightly bitter finish with a hint of roasted almonds. Pleasant but not outstanding.

Cask conditioned at the Victoria, Eastleach Gloucs 8/5/2007. Deep gold colour with slight head. This had a lot more hops than other Arkells beers, meaning the pint was better balanced with grassy notes to complement the caramel malt. Good.

Bottle conditioned. Slightly cloudy chestnut colour with a beige head, despite careful pouring; strong malty aroma; smooth and malty with a slight bitterness to finish. Rather one-dimensional.

Cask at the Victoria, Eastleach, Gloucs. I have always viewed this as one of the few remaining west country boys’ bitters. Light aroma, decent hops. A real thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Nutty aroma. Medium body with a dry malt base and some nutty accents. A light fruitiness. The finish is dry and fairly bitter. Quite OK. 230107

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, pale amber with a small, off-white head. Lightly citrusy aroma. Fairly light body with discreet caramel accents and then again this fresh citrus. Very nice and quaffable without much bitterness. 210906
