Cask at Baxter’s Court, JDW - London. Pours clear rich gold with a frothy off-white head. Nutty aroma, with notes of toasty malts and dried leaves. Light sweet flavor, a little citric and astringent, with bitter leaves, earth, toasted grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. More citric character to finish, a little bit of tangy berry, grainy and toasty bread, bitter leaves. A rather mediocre bitter.

Cask @ Livery Rooms, Keighley. Copper with a creamy head. Malty in character and refreshing enough. Doesn’t have a particularly high bitterness, although there’s a small sweetness to the ale.

Cask. Amber, slightly cloudy appearance, a one finger creamy white head which takes a while to form. Fruity, malty, biscuity aroma. Lots of bitterness in the taste, raisin, malt backbone, bitter orange, medium mouthfeel. Pretty good overall.
