Pint pulled at The Cock Inn in Surrey (in the middle of a 70km bike ride), a nice amber in colour but little head. Not a strong aroma, the malt being the most evident with a hoppy crispness. Flavour is mainly malty, with a good level of bitterness (with hints of grapefruit). A very inoffensive drop, something I would happily regularly drink.

Cask at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford One of my favourite session beers. Good resiny hops with biscuity malts and some fruit leads to a dry bitter hop finish that makes you want to take another sip. Good beer

Cask at Wateredge Inn, Ambleside. Orangey amber with tight sparkler induced head. Fairly good hoppy session bitter when served well.

Cask @ The Globe, Cambridge, UK. 29th May 2005
Fruity and light amber. Some hop bitterness but not as much as expected from previous encounters with this brew. Quite dry aftertaste. (#500 logged on RateBeer)

Cask conditioned at The Mitre, Cambridge. Deep golden colour, low to none head. A decent session bitter, nothing wrong, nothing spectacular. Tolerably malty aroma and flavour with a decent hoppy finish.
