Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London
Amber color; thin creamy head. The aroma is simple, with some fudge. Good flavor, caramel, a bit of sweetness, very light smokey and earthy touch, even cheesy, making it very pleasant. Correct bitterness. Interesting.

Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori. Copper-red, a bit hazy color, decent white creamy head. Light nutty hoppy aroma. Soft palate. Woody-nutty, a bit tart flavor. Decent bitterness - feels stronger than 4.2%. Light sweetish note in the aftertaste. Ok at most.

Cask at The Turf Tavern, Oxford in the company of Glen 09-11-08 Pours mid amber with a white head, nice chalkiness to this, its a simple but tasty enough bitter, clean tasting and quite enjoyable. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1 Had this again at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 13.10.10 I really enjoyed this, more so than last time hence the re-rate. Poured mid amber in colour with white head. Good session beer, touch sweet maybe, malty throughout with a gentle bitterness, its tasty and slipped down well. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

On gravity at Swindon BF 30/10/08. Dark chestnut in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of red fruit, milk chocolate and earthy hops. Flavour was sweetish with caramel, chocolate and a touch of roastiness, leading to a short bitter finish. Good.

Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body with some carbonation and a small, white head. Biscuity malts, some pine and resin, and fruity hops in the aroma. Almost alcoholic in the flavor, with the same biscuity malts and hop-flavors as in the aroma. There’s some bitterness too, but quite gentle. Finishes in the same way. It’s a quite sweet beer. Sure decent, but not the kind of beer I would like to drink all night. (081018)

[on draught at the Lyndhurst Ale House, Reading] 4.1% ABV when I tried this. Pours an amber-brown with a good, lasting creamy head. Intense floral hop aroma. Soft creamy mouthfeel, with spring flowers in the intial taste. Flavour mellows into a soft earthiness - feels like you’ve drunk an entire flowerbed from the top down! Quite unusual, but very enjoyable and easy to drink. Becomes a little bland in the aftertaste but otherwise a top-notch Spring/Summer beer.
