(Cask at King William IV, Leyton, London, 10 Apr 2014) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of toast, dried fruit and apricots. Malty, fruity taste with toast, apricots, tea, dried fruit and a gentle bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Well made and balanced bitter. Quite nice.

Cask at The Hanging Bat. This one stood out as the best of the cask beers by Hopcraft that night. Clear gold, thick white head. Aromas were light fruit, light caramel. Taste was the same. A good, well-balanced session beer.
