Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 06. Excellent mild. Refreshing, ruby mild, lovely malts and then bit of hop bite on the end. Top notch. Not huge flavours but well balanced and some toffee on the end.

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Copper/red colour with bubbly off white head. Some minerality. Bit of yeast/farty aroma. Some caramel. Pleasant enought but could do with some more hop flavour for me. OK bitter.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] An almost opaque red-brown beer with a thin light brown head. Both the aroma and the flavor are sweet with notes of caramel and roasted malt, but the body is thin - I find it lacks alcohol.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Ruby (of course!). Hint of coffee aroma. Dryish with chewy malts. Bitter grassy finish. A very good mild.

Golden-amber; minerally, creamy, earthy pint. Straightforward example of style...sampled on cask at the pub at the end of the Manx Electric Railway platform in Laxey.

Chestnut brown. Rather thin, sourish. A disppointingly tasteless ale with not much anything.
