Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - thanks to Chris. Pours clear, golden-brown with a light, creamy head. Lightly oxidised malts in the nose, some caramel. Light to medium sweet flavor with dry caramel and faint leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Certainly some further oxidation in the finish, light brown bread, caramel. Old but OK.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow tasting, thanks to Chris, 20/01/13. Hazed mid amber with a thin off white head that clears edgeward. Nose is malty, fruit, light smoke, caramel, medicinal notes - not great. Taste follows, grain, malt, twigs and shit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dryish finish. Send to Meh’sville!

On tap at Merchant’s in Lancaster. This is a smooth tasting best bitter with a large creamy head. Dark golden in colour, nice feeling in the palate. A medium bitterness.

Bottle from Asda Carlisle 110113
Copper brown, big frothy head, some lacing
Aroma - caramel bit earthy malts, old leaves, vegetables, poor aroma
Taste - soft caramel, vegetables, some bitter twig hops, dull, not great
Palate - Thin body, slightly oily. Bitterish palate. Finish - soft bitter, bit dry.
Overall - This bottle was very poor - maybe better cask. It was a drain pour. The other beers that I’ve had from this brewery on cask were far better.

Cask at The Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear yellow with a light, filmy white head. Biscuity malt nose, dough. Pretty bland stuff. Light to medium sweet, light lemon tang. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweetness at the end, some tangy straw, biscuits. Meh.
