Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. I’m having this as SilkTork said it was better than it used to be and also because it is now being brewed by Wells & Young’s. It’s fine. A little bit bitter shandyish. Some yeasty aroma, some lemony citrus, some malt. Not a lot of hop on finish. Bit dull, but ok.

Bottled. Pours clear and copper-colored, with an off-white head. Malty aroma with roastiness, caramel and some hops. The flavor has roastiness, maltyness, caramel, some fruity hops and hints of camfer. Medium bodied beer that reminds me of a scottish one. (061222)

Cask at the Kingsholm Pub, Gloucester, 02-09-06. Suprised that I hadn’t rated this before and also that it tasted better than I expected. Whilst this lacked in many departments it was a decent enough copper coloured easy quaffing ale that in a pub outside the Rugby ground I had not expected to find a half decent pint in.
