Near-opaque, very dark red-brown beer. Beige head. Taste is quite dry and malty up front but there’s some sharp, tangy fruit to follow. Not that much caramel and was expecting something richer. Nice though.

Cask handpull at Doric Arch Euston. Clear gold lasting white head. Earthy English ho aroma. An English golden ale. Not much yeast or malt character. English dry pepper finish. Decent condition and temperature.

Cask half-pint in my local Wetherspoons on 9th Nov 2016. Golden amber rather than a ’blondie’ in my eyes: off-white, lasting smooth crown. Fairly bitter blend with the malts playing second fiddle throughout: decent enough but nothing special or out of the ordinary.

On cask at King’s Highway, Inverness. Appearance - not blonde at all. Deep amber in fact. Decent head. Nose - toffee, molasses and more toffer. Taste - more toffee. Light shortbread and caramel note at the back. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it’s definitely a Bitter. Maybe even a Mild. Decent!

Handpull cask from the Crown & Mitre, Kings Lynn. Mid- to dark gold, clear with a minimal ring of whitish head and a fair bit of lacing. Unexpectedly enticing little aroma: rose water and honey with a hint of grain. Taste is a bit lacking. Bittersweet, coarse, a bit buttery. And served far too warm for a light beer like this. Drinkable enough but I wouldn’t have it again.
