Cask handpump at Cambridge BF ’07. Amber with a curious musty aroma. Malty taste, slight sourness and a hint of cardboard. Low bitterness. OK, I suppose.

Bottle picked up at Darts Farm, Topsham, Nr Exeter, Devon 12-11-06 had the same evening. Amber in colour with a strange slightly gasseous nose, though not unpleasant tasted absolutely fine but soft, malty and some bittereness but all in all a tad bland.

Cask Conditioned at The Beer Engine, Newton St Cyres, Devon. Amber coloured with white head. Malty but lightly flavoured bitter with an orange note. Fresh dry hop finish, slightly powdery and grainy.

Appealing ginger colour. Malty aroma with some caramel. Mainly sweetish malt flavour, with some balancing hops coming through later on. A suggestion of cardboard creeps in too. Not bad, but not really my favoured style of bitter. My bottle was 4.2% abv. 500ml bottle (not bottle conditioned) from onlyfinebeer. BBE 31 July 2004.
