Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of elderflower, flowery hops. Taste is pale malt, floral fruity, elderflower, currant, with some citric hop bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying bitter lingering elderflower finish. Quite OK.

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Amber with a white head. Nice full mouthfeel on this one, showing why cask is by far the best way to serve bitter. Caramel up front with a hint of lemon and some rustic straw. Blackberries come through too. A decent bitter, enjoyed it.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear brown amber colour lasting cream head. Mid malty brown bitter. Malty aroma. Light bitterness on the finish. It's a slightly non interesting brown bitter. OK.

Half-pint after a traditional spoons breakfast. Filmy layer leaving rich lacing on the glass, clear golden body. Inviting on the nose with ripe fruits and grainy malts. Mixed taste of leafy hops and mid-sweet pale malts. Satisfying bittersweet finish. Pleasing. (Liverpool, 14.02.2025).
