Cask pint in the Eagle, Boston Lincolnshire on 2nd Mar 2017. A red hue to the true mahogany coloured body, the head a lasting off-white affair. Malty and fruity from the start, hop bitter finish. Liked it.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge on 12th April 2016. Copper with declining off white ring-and-film. Malty aroma with leafy herbiness. Herby hops, sweet malts and a citrus touch in-mouth. A diacetyl touch. Bitter finish rescues the beer somewhat. Light mouthfeel and body.
