Commercial Description:
Cask; Occasional. Also known as JRA.
A dry hopped, pale, session ale, full flavoured with a hoppy aftertaste. Brewed to celebrate the 50th Birthday of the Brewery's Managing Director, James Arkell, in 2001.

A Sim rate (cask at the Doric Arch): 4 for aroma, and lucky at that! Very malty and smells a bit like wee. Unpleasant, to be kind. So regular amber coloured with OK lacing but acidic-looking head. Tastes better than it looks, but still not great. Tastes of malt and very strongly of corn. Really not very nice.

Cask Stillage at the Metropolitan Centre, Bury 24/11/2001 An amber coloured bitter with some fruitiness. Slightly bitter with plenty of hops in a lasting finish.

Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Crystal clear amber coloured body, no head. Vanilla fudge flavour site amongst plenty of hops. This beer was flavourful and punching well above its weight. Result!!
