From cask at Egham 13. Pours clear and golden amber with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and breadish. Bitter and toasted flavoured. Breadish and caramelish, toffee malty into the finish.

Light golden ale with a malted aroma that is blended with hops for its taste.

Cask, handpump at The Shoulder of Mutton, Wantage, Oxfordshire, Wednesday 12th September 2012 Pours dark golden with a tidy clean white head. Fruity golden beer but a little shallow in mouth, there is a hoppiness of this there is no doubt and it is pleasant enough, but for me it is lacking a certain something. Good, but could do better (as my school report regularly informed me) A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/1/2012. Near black in colour with a decent off-white head. Aroma of Black coffee, dark fruit and chocolate. Flavour had more fruit and chocolate, with a whiff of smoke and dryish finish. Good drinking.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/1/2012. Clear amber in colour with a decent white head. Aroma of nutty malts, hedgerow fruit and a touch of leafy hop. Flavour of cereal malts and berry fruits, with a hint of citrus and good, bitter finish. Enjoyable.
