Can: Poured a dark amber color ale with small foamy head with minimal retention and some fine lacing. Aroma of dry English malt is present but lacking in floral or fruity aspects. Taste of dry malt is interesting but the missing floral/fruity layer makes it a bit boring and the absence of any notable hops presence also make this as an average offering.

Cask gravity at George, Bethersden. Badged as Wadworth. Amber with lasting beige creamy head. Herby earthy hop, slighty yeasty. Hey, it’s an English bitter. Some good hedgerow fruit. I would miss this type of beer though if I couldn’t have it again. Re-rate. County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Definitely tasted of dry roasted peanuts. Lovely though.

Bottle from Sainsburys, Kidlington. Poured a nice copper colour with good fruits and malts on the nose. This tasted a little thinner and less impressive than I remembered although I suppose having had this after a triple I was doing this something a disservice, still it wasn’t as distinctive as I recalled. A fairly fruity reasonably bitter beer that just doesn’t have quite as high standing as I used to place it.

Draught (nitro) at Duke of Ellington, Southampton. Pale nut brown, creamy nitro head. Neutral aroma with the lightest touch of minerals. Sweetish, fruity and light bodied with creamy mouthfeel.
