[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a thin white head; orangey citrus aroma; smooth in the mouth with a bready body and some bitter marmalade; then some chewy fruity malts leading to a dry finish. A tasty pale ale.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden brown with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Thereโs malts and autumn fruits in the aroma plus hints of raisins. In the mouth it is slightly bitter with a creamy texture. Flavour is traditional hops and fruit cake. More bitterness come through later plus traces of spice and citrus. Finish is somewhat dry. This is a decent strong bitter โ though not quite up to ESB intensity.

Cask at the 'Spoons in The City. Slightly turgid look in the glass and a yeast lead taste and texture. Not my most favourite.
