Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a white head and middling fizz. Summer fruits and orange juice up front, woodland mulch and toffee in the middle and a touch of marmalade in the mildly bitter finish. A decent session bitter - nothing fancy, nothing wow, but tasty, well-balanced and easy to knock back. I could have sunk a few of these in an evening back in the days before Ratebeer made me work my way through the taps instead!

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Clear gold with a thin white head and a moderate prickly fizz. Dusty with light sweet and sour citrus, a touch of cream, got some herbs and rock and marzipan before a dirty bitter finish. Started below par, got worse; despite the flavours being light it was pretty unpleasant by the end.

Cask-conditioned at the Junction, Southampton 2/7/2017. Amber in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. An easy drinking bitter, with a touch of hedgerow, sweetish digestive malts, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.
