Cask at the New Inn, Littlehampton. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt and yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, malt, nutty, light herbal, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid session bitter.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly fruity hops with hints of malt. In the mouth the hops will dominate, theres also autumn fruits and oranges with traces of malt, grains and pine. Some slight bitterness in the finish. It’s reasonable.
