Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 08. Russet/dark brown with lasting beige head. Really good malty beer. Dryish malt. Good fruits. Just a bit lacking on finish. Bit nutty, not bad, but as I say, something missing somewhere

Copper colour ... Light fruity smooth fruity malt ... little hop in background ... quite soft.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 24/3/08. Amber coloured with a decent white head. Aroma of caramel and red fruit. Flavour was slightly sweet with a moderate bitter finish. A drinkable session bitter.

Bright crystal-clear coloured amber body with a very thin slightly off-white head. Aroma of very fresh, almost plucked off the vine hops, with some light malt and a touch of yeast. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour dominates the taste with a good body of malt and yeast. Aftertaste shows the fresh hops, coupled with some of the yeast and ends with a bit of sweetnes - very nice! Overall, definitely one of the best beers I had at the pub, and worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this pint pulled from a cask at Market Porter in Borough, London, England on 09-March-2008.
