[Cask at Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes] Deep amber (paler than your normal modern mild) with a slight off-white head. Chocolate with a dusty bitterness, not bad at all.

Cask handpull at Baker Street Spoons. Clear chestnut colour with sparse off white head. Malty aroma. Ooh yes now that I do like a proper brown bitter with just a hint of diacetyl. Full malty caramel and some abrasive bitterness on finish. Nice to have a malty bitter after so many golden ales

06/09/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (cask). Dorata, viva, abbastanza limpida, con bella schiuma morbida, pannosa, bianca, molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, caramello, pane, frutta, note floreali. In bocca è delicata, con una luppolatura morbida e mai aggressiva, corpo medio-basso, leggermente acquosa, ma gradevole. Carbonazione quasi assente. Una ottima session beer, rinfrescante e gradevolissima, al pari della Hole Hearted.

02//09/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (cask). Dorata, bellissima, lievemente torbida, lieve cappello di schiuma morbida, bianchissima, molto persistente. Aroma fragrante, note di pane, pesca, uva, floreale. In bocca è moderatamente amara, morbida, con discreto corpo per una golden ale e grande beverinità. Una magnifica golden ale, tra le migliori del birrificio.
