500ml bottle from Black Bull, Coniston - Golden clear body, loose white head. Relatively fresh citrus aroma, sweeter than the handpull version. Flavour has a decent light dose of sweet malt, with plenty of fresh hop flavour and light bitterness. Very drinkable session bitter.

Bottle poured and served at Black Bull, Coniston - Rich amber coloured body, thick lacing white head. Aroma of sweet citrus, caramel and sweet candy sugar. Taste is rich deep and malty, loads of sweetness in there. Very nice, and not at all what I expected when I saw the bottle.

On keg at Black Bull, Coniston - a hot day quencher as a prelude to a ticking sesh. Clear straw coloured body, no head. Lots of fizz, nose and taste is grainy, rather cloying. Did its job but obviously Coniston’s "one for the masses".

Bottle. Nose is perfume, malt, cereal, slight tropical note from the American hops. Taste is cereal, malt, slight orange, floral, herbal hops, doughy, hint of peach with a gentle mineral herbal hop finish. It’s quite a nice bitter, and very drinkable.

On cask at Black Bull, Coniston - Nothing like the bottled version I’d had not an hour earlier, and nowhere near as good. Deep brown body, thick brilliant white head. Nose is more flowery than the bottle, taste is more floury. Thinner too. Looks better mind you.

Bottle from Co-Op opposite Black Bull, Coniston - As a BYOB at the local bistro, nice red body, decent off-white head. Rich nose of caramel and malts, taste has lots of rich cake fruit stuff going on, thickish palate too. Quite a decent drink.
