Cask at the Willow Walk (JDW), Victoria. Reddish amber with a thin cream head; fruity aroma; red fruit flavour with a touch of cherryade and a biscuity body; then a light but persistent bitterness to finish. Rather pleasant.

[Cask at the William Robert Loosley [JDW], High Wycombe) Amber, moderate white head. Cream and vanilla over a mild fruitiness; a slight bitterness in the finish. Possibly a little sweet and cloying in the finish, butperfectly drinkable. Overall it’s a pretty average beer, which for me counts as an improvement over this brewery’s normal performance.
