@ Royal Oak. Amber-brown, nice lacing. Toasty, nutty brown ale aroma. Light body, getting a bit creamy and nutty as it goes. Good malt complexity.

@ Royal Oak Twerton. Dead looking dull straw. Herbal and quite spicy hop character. Flat body, but with a fairly rich hop profile that starts woody/mossy but becomes juicier towards the finish.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 20th July 2010. Pale amber with thin diminishing whitish head. Don’t be fooled by the malty aroma as a hop kick strikes like a bolt of bitter lightning across the tastebuds.. Cuttingly bitter with vegetable notes, mainly broad beans; dry mouthfeel and long lasting severe bitterness. An intense pint, packing a real punch!

Cask at the recent White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks ’Coming of Age’ Beer Festival. Murky deep brown coloured pour with virtually no head to speak of. Fruity aroma. Tastes of dark fruit, hops. A rather strange one but drinkable.
