Can from Secretts, Milford. Aroma has light woody bitterness, caramel and citrus. Malty. Copper gold. Foamy blotchy off-white head. Medium-heavy bitterness - resin and quinine. Citrus edge. Develops a hig sweet caramel streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Billed as an American IPA and I guess they were aiming for somethings West Coast but ultimately like a lot of old-school UK breweries it's still trad verging on Golden Ale. Quite hoppy. Quite chewy. Fine.

Cask @ Pint Pot, Rochdale. Dark amber with a creamy-frothy head. Earthy-dryish malts hide a hint of fruit. Session strength and texture.

Cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head. Malts and biscuits in the aroma. In the mouth there are malts again along with some floral hops, apples, and just a smidgen of sourness. Later oranges come to the fore. Finish is slightly dry. A bit “meh” to start off with, but it does get better.

Bottle from Wine Rack, Burpham. Aroma is malty with a restrained sour tang. Opaque dark brown. Foamy light beige head. Rich and malty. Grainy. Bitter. Sour citrus edge. Slightly metallic element into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Interesting enough for a bitter from this brewery.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Duke of Wellington. Upper part lacing, next-to-clear copper body, patchy surfaces. Moderate dough fruity nose. Subdued malt-fruity flavours, earthy malts and leafy hops. Rounded ending, hints of citrus peels. Easy to drink. Okay British bitter. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

But creamy chocolate remains throughout. Medium bodied. Slick with a chalky residue. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Decent enough.

Nice deep copper body and good foam. Soft floral hops and mellow maltiness, vague biscuit on the nose. Taste is soft fruity malt, mellow hoppiness with lingering sweetness. Subtle but easy and nice.
