[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with some notes of citrus, while the flavor is boring and plainly malty, and the body thin.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A red-brown beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry bitter end over a thin body. To me this is not a mild, but more like a brown ale, except for the gravity.

Cask conditioned at The Pickerel, Cambridge (guest beer). Golden brown colour, no head. Comes forward as a standard premium bitter, quite flat. Moderate malty aroma with notes of caramel, hints of malt vinegar. Flavour is .... err, like an ordinary bitter, nothing particular stands out at all. I may have suffered from "palate fatigue" after many hours at the Cambridge Beer Festival earlier that day, but I don’t think this beer rates above the "OKish" category anyhow.
