Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/11/10. Slightly hazy gold in colour with a billowy white head. Buttery, pineapple and sherbet aroma. Flavour was dominated by diacetyl, with sweet pineapple and apricot fruit, a yeasty edge and clashing, bitter finish. A poor brew.

(Cask at Edgar Wallace, Strand, London, 3 Aug 2010) Pale amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with orange, mandarin and floral hops. Fruity taste with notes of orange, mandarin, dried apricots and fresh, floral hops in the finish. Light body, balanced sweetness, generous floral bitterness. Refreshing, nice and highly drinkable.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. An attractive amber with a loose white head; aromas of tropical fruits and butterscotch; think in the mouth with the same tropical fruit flavour followed by a good blast of English hops. I rather liked this.
