Cask pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire on 11th March 2016. Golden body with a white crown on top. Decent blend with a little more malt in the nose and a light malty taste: the hops adding a slight fruity aroma and a mild bitterness in the finish.

Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Huge thanks to Chris for bringing this one out of his cellar! BBE December 2005 - wow. Pours perfectly clear honey-gold with a creamy, white head; nothing wrong with the appearance, folks. The aroma, however, indicates a truly knackered beer, with prominent cardboard notes, some caramel, moldy bread with berries. Medium sweet flavour with more ripe fruits, berries, bread and caramel. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition given the age. Sugar and bready to finish, with more caramel and berries. So so. But fun to try.

Cask gravity at the Watford beer fest 2015. Mild tick. Chestnut brown reddy coloured pour with a lasting small grey head. Aroma is dried apple, nutty malts, , hint of toasted brown bread. Flavour is composed of tangy green apple, slight vinegar, nutty toasted grains, with dried fruit. Palate is light bodied, watery, moderate carbonation. Not a fan.

500ml bottle from Moonshine & Fuggles, Ironbridge. Orangey golden colour, short-lived white bubbly head and aroma of tangy apple, barnyard. Taste is sourish, apple, fruity, slight oak and with some drying tannins. Light bodied, low to medium carbonation, dry tannic finish. Quite drinkable.
