Cask @ Paramount, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. It's a hopped ale with mild malts in both aroma and taste.

Draft at 1843, Rimini, Italy. Pours intense brilliant gold with moderate but persistent white foam, very fine. Aroma is a nice mix of citrus and sweet like toffee. Body is quite dense average carbonation. Taste starts moderately sweet but with good old school bitterness coming through towards the finish, which is fairly long.

Pint of cask at the Outside Chance in Manton. I deep copper colour in the glass and a minimal head with some lacing. The beer was perfectly kept and truly showcased the light flavours that you would expect in this classic English IPA. There was a forward bitterness and excellent drinkability. It went very well with the burger and chips and ticked all the right boxes. You could drink a lot of this and thoroughly enjoy yourself.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2018. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A sweet beer, with plenty of Wadworth's house yeast character, a hint of citrus fruits, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Deep gold with a thick off-white head and a light fizz. Floral notes with a mild but slightly tinny bitterness. A nothing beer. Not one of Waddy's finer moments.
