Cask @ The Devonshire Arms, South Normanton: in perfect condition, bright rich amber colour with a dense head which faded slowly. Good balance of fruit and bitterness.

Cask Conditioned. Light Brown bitter with creamy head. The flavor is hoppy from aroma hops, that gives a note of flowers and elderflower. An average bitter. Bland in flavour, not too much bitterness, sweet in malt, no outstanding features.

Cask at the Plough, Wolvercote, Oxon 25-04-06. Amber coloured, very small head which quickly disappeared quite sweet, little fruity and reasonably tasty. I had a couple of these and was pleasantly suprised as it was better than I expected and than I last remebered.

Bottled. Dark golden beer with a small, almost beige head. Malty aroma with a ligth grapefruit-like fruitiness. Medium body and a flavor that is mostly malty, but it also has some caramel, lightly roasted notes and some hops. Medium body and a bready and bitter finish, where the bitterness lasts the longest.

500ml in a Ruddles Ales glass at Blå Rock Cafe in Tromsø. Served a bit too cold. Clear and deep mahogany. Virtually no foam. The delicious hoppy aroma sets the standard for the beer. It’s a distinctive hoppy bitterness all the way through with a long and gentle hoppy finish.
