Clear brown beer, semi soft dry palate. Watery malt and then just a very light touch of hops. Watery minerally finish with a very mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Okay, just bland! Even by UK 4.2% bitter standards!!

Clear brown beer. Soft palate. Soft fresh malt - a bit watery but in a refreshing mineral water sort of way! A little bit of hop at the end. A curious beer but a clean tasting one!

Cask at the Moon and Spoon (JDW), Slough. Hazy amber with a loose cream head; fruity malt aroma; dry fruity malt flavour with some orange; malty finish with some light hops. Well flavoured but not outstanding.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 28/03/2011. Deep amber with a thin, off-white head. A straightforward, malty premium bitter, with some sweet malts and touch of fruit before a decent, bitter finish. Fine.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear auburn pour with a foamy, off-white head. Malty nose with hints of toffee and fruits. Malt-forward flavor, lots of toffee, cake, slight toast, nuts, butterscotch, just hints of herbal hops. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, faintly sticky and bitter finish, vanilla frosting, burnt sugar. Good stuff.

Bottled. An amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has light notes of flowers, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as a touch of hops.
