Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet with malts to the fore plus hints of Nuts and autumn fruits. Pretty much the same to start with in the mouth, with mushy apple flavour and traces of orange and floral hops. Later it becomes slightly bitter with toffee and hints of caramel leading to a slightly dry finish. This is a decent old school bitter.
