Light bodied, good looking and easy to drink ale. Aroma is malts, but the taste is lost in its weak texture.

Cask-conditioned at the Nottinghamshire beer festival, Seven Stars, Bristol March 2012. Earthy malt aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour of cereal malts, with some caramel and a bitter finish. Ok.

2nd Feb 2012 found me in one of my local pubs (The Cock Hotel, Wellington): four different Real Ales were consumed by my good self, this being the second pint of the session. Hand pulled into a UK pint sleeve: light gold in colour, well formed white crown of tight bubbles sat on top. The smell was somewhat sulphurous and reminded me of a dirty farmyard with a truckload of hops sat in the middle. The taste was better, thank goodness, hops and yeast frontage but with enough malts in the brew to stop it being really bitter. A little bland and uninteresting in my opinion, I didn’t have another.

Cask handpump at FFTMC, Oxford with Loz, Jan, Charlotte Sun 23rd Oct 2011 Lazy creamy easy drinking bitter, though not so bitter in the mouth. Not too impressive if I am being honest, lacks much zest and life, is it brewed with hedgerow hops? Not great I’m afraid. A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9

Dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of toffee and dried fruit, with a hard roasted, ashy note, and diacetyl. Dry with a strange unbalanced fruity and ashy flavour

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. Pours ruby-brown with a foamy, off-white head. Mild roast and milk chocolate in the aroma. Medium sweet flavor, notes of brown sugar, decent roast, cocoa, slight lactic sugars. Light bodied with fine carbonation and in great condition. Subtle coffee in the finish, dark milk chocolate malts. Faint dark fruits. Great stuff.
