(bottle) Clear, amber colour with an off-white foamy head of medium size. Lemon-fruity and resiny hoppy aroma with spicy notes. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy carbonation. Solid cara-malty taste with fruity and spicy, also slightly resiny hops. Dry and moderately bitter finish with an aromatic hoppy touch and a subtle malty sweetness. Quite underrated beer (11.VII.09).

Cask handpull at Lord Mall of the Mall, JDW, London. Well the rum isn’t overly dominant. A slightly fuller than normal strong bitter, bit sweet, some Wadworth yeast, faint hop tingle on finish. It’s not all that. OK.

Cask, handpump at the Trigger Pond St Georges Beer Festival, Bucknell, Nr Bicester, Oxon, 25-04-09 Actually this was on at the main bar so technically not really one of the festival beers. Pours amber with a thin white filmy head. Nicely tangy, quite fruity but there are layers of caramel. This finishes with a just a little bitterness at the end. More fuller bodied than I expected, though the sweetness apparent throughout would not make this a session beer for me. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Gold with a thin scummy-looking cream head; lacking aroma; chewy and oily texture with a distinct rum flavour, and underlying sweet malts; some warming alcohol to finish. Pleasantly drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, 18/04/09. Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head. Yeasty, Wadworth’s aroma, with some caramel and red fruits. Flavour was again unmistakeably Wadworths, with some spice and earthiness, before giving way to some sickly toffee and a vague hint of alcohol warmth, which I assume was the rum. Disjointed.
