Amber, clear, frothy fairly dense white head, some lacing.
Nose of soft light caramel malts, light cereal, not much aroma.
Taste of soft light caramel malts ,soft cereals, fairly bitter twiggy hops, simple bitter beer - rather dull tbh
Palate - Light body, little oily, slight sweet malts with soft bitter hop. Finish as main flavour, dry soft bitter grain malts, quite long soft bitter linger
Overall - Came across as an average standard bitter...didn’t pick up the juniper at all...will re-rate if see again

Hal pint, cask by handpump at Standing Order. Off-white head blanketing the glass. Near-clear copper coloured body. Marmalade nose. Dried fruity taste with malty sweetness, jam-like. Malt-fruity, mid-bitter ending. Rather heavy to drink, but satisfying (Edinburgh 09.08.2013).

Bottled. Hazy amber, mid sized head. Citric nose with some caramel. Citrus, penicillin and minerals dominate. Salty bitterish finish. Too medicinal.
