(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 8 Aug 2009) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, herbal nose with citrus, orange and heather. Fruity, malty taste with orange, peaches and herbal hints of heather. Low bitterness. Medium body, fairly sweet. Nice and refreshing with the heather making it slightly different.

My ratings here are vague as it was 09/04/09 - however...! Not often seen in the tin so although I was on a cider mission (I never mix! Well..) would have been daft not to. Loc: The Star, Godalming, Surrey England (must remember this is a U.S. site - yawn). Any cask ale leaves bottled standing. Try both.

Cask conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Charlbury. Amber with no head. This is so different from the bottle and how I remember it, it’s not true. Weak, sweet, light, no heather flavours, quite poor.

Full pint, hand pulled cask at The Auld Hoose, Edinburgh. Golden brown body with a thin ring around the rim of the glass. Smell of spicy malts followed by a vaguely taste of herbs and sweet dark fruits. Not so much to go for in the aftertaste. Anonymous [26.10.2008].
