Handpull cask at the Eagle & Child, Staveley. Light gold, clear with a small film of white head. Raw grain and floral notes in the aroma. Bitter taste with a papery dryness. Long bitter finish. Some butter notes in the aftertaste. I've had worse but this doesn't do it for me.

Bottle. Amber in colour, with a slight, white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of sweet, flabby, cereals, with a hint of marmalade and leafy hop. Flavour was dominated by boiled sweet notes, which meant that, overall, the beer was not very pleasant.
