Cask at The Southwark Tavern (London Bridge - London).
Red limpid color, clearly and firm one. Light and evanescent head. Woody and malty aroma with detached and decided bitter notes. Lightly fruity and watery. Smooth and dry taste with light alcoholic tone. Medium duration final. Balanced and light on the end.

At the Mitre, Cambridge. A splendid bitter. Lots of hops, a peppery aroma and a nice bitter finish that cries out for more!
