Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
"Distinctive balance between the flavours of fruity Golding variety hops, Maris Otter malted barley and demerara sugar. Strong and refreshingly long, dry and bitter finish."

Cask at the Black’s Head, Carlton, Notts. A very bland beer, this bitter has a nice soft maltiness but very little aroma and is too bland to really be enjoyable.

Cask conditioned at The Easington, Banbury. Amber with white head. Malty, soft beer with a light biscuit flavour, some carmel, toffee but little else. Sweetish finish, nothing exciting.

Cask (handpump) at GBBF, August 2006. Dark amber colour. A soft, sweetish best bitter. The emphasis is on sweet, fruity malt and hop character is in pretty short supply - no more than a hint of earthy Goldings. Consequently lacks impact. Couldn’t really call this faulty (so I’ve erred on the side of generous in the scoring) but its not my preferred style of bitter at all.

Cask conditioned @Humble Plumb. Light soapy malts with caramel sweetness. Mild hop finish. Lacking in flavour but in no way offensive.

Cask at the Devonshire Arms, South Normanton. Sparkling gold colour with a soapy white head; initially caramel and malt dominate with some traces of fruit, but then a full bodied bitterness develops. An excellent pint of bitter.

Cask@GBBF, 2006. Syrupy looking golden beer with a hopped and syrupy golden aroma and a dryly hopped flavour. Overall a nice plain beer.

Cask, GBBF 06. Amber with a small off-white head. Aromas are spicy, earthy hops with yeast lemon and hints of banana. Flavours are caramel malts with butter and zesty lemon. Pretty decent.
