13th November 2008. Bottle at home. Clear gold beer. Tangy sourish malt with a touch of tea! Mild and smooth - not bitter. Tastes better than what I have just written sounds!

Cask handpull at The Roscoe Head, Liverpool. Very deep chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Roasty toasty ESB with rather lovely fruit. Wow, now that is a really good ESB. One of the best ESB aromas I’ve smelt. The toasty malt and deep jammy fruit are stunning. Full in mouth. If it had a peppery hop finish, I wouldn’t leave the pub. Drying hop on finish. Lovely malts throughout.

Half on gravity at the 24th Ipswich Beer Festival. Small off-white head over a deep copper dark body. Malty aroma. Intriguing flavour of bitterness and sweetness. Smooth. Classic old ale (23.09.2006).
