This is a pleasant enough beer but it suffers from not having one strong flavour. There’s a malty, sweet aspect with a bitter, hoppy edge but nothing really stands out. It could have been great if it wasn’t trying to do a bit of everything.

Cask at the Claude De Val (JDW), Camberley - 18/08/12. Pours a slightly obscured copper/orange with a very thin white head. Strong malts on the nose and a little orange. Strong malty taste as per the nose and a background of citrus fruit orange and grapefruit predominating and a little toffee/butter. Light to medium body - easy drinking not bad.

Has a malty aroma with light smokiness. Texture is really smooth and creamy. Flavour has a lightly burnt, bitter malt taste and later some smoke. Dry, thirst quenching finish.

Cask at Square Peg, Birmingham
Amber color, with small but persistent creamy head. Simple Bitter, with some acidity in the aroma, and a dusty flavor.
Probably not in good conditions.
