Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 20.06.11 Pours amber with small white head. This is fruity with a touch of sharpness, tangy with plenty of citrus. Possibly a little past its best but acceptable, not like my first beer which had to be passed back. A5 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.8

On gravity at the Green Man, Bristol 27/09/10. Amber in colour with a slight white head. Sweet, fruity aroma with a whiff of citrus hop. Flavour was packed with caramel and red fruits, leading to a syrupy finish with over prominent alcohol. Not so pleasant.
