Nothing to really shout about.
Clear dark golden color with a thick off white head. Ok lacing. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium (-) body and a soft carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Caramel malty, some fruity notes, grassy/herbal hoppy flavor. Mild stuff.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Tuckerโs Maltings Beer Festival, 15/4/2016. Copper in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Aroma of chocolate and red berries, with some brown sugar. Easy drinking, with flavours of biscuity malts and sweet choclate, leading to a soft finish. Good.

Cask on gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 22/10/2015. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweetish bitter, with some hedgerow fruits, hint of citrus, trace of toastiness and short, bitter, finish. Fine.
