Cask. Badger Bar, Rydal. Light amber color. Light hoparoma. Firm hopbitter flavor. Herbal, mustard, grassy. Fairly thin and absolutely no rest sweetness. Long hopbitter finish. Nice session ale with loads of flavor, also fairly complex.

Cask in the bitter end brewpub. Aroma is noteable bittering hops, some toffee malt charcater, grassy. Taste is a decent malt base but raw bittering hops dominate, really really just raw bitterness.

Cask Conditioned at The Black Bull, Coniston, Cumbria. Light Golden amber with full head. Particularly hoppy spicy session bitter, refreshing and understated. Nicely balanced maltiness with a fresh barley note. An outstanding bitter.

[Cask conditioned] Very pleasant hoppy aroma. Good body and lots of bitterness. It's also very good bottled.

Draft at the Map Room in Chicago. Amber hue with a small off-white head, no lacing. Hints of strawberry, pine, dough, and roasted malt in the aroma. Good balance, slighty hoppier than most. dry and lively mouthfeel. Above average session ale, recommended.
