Cask at the Standing ORder (JDW), Derby. Gold with a thin white head; fruity aroma; richy fruity flavours to start then ultra-dry with a touch of quinine.

Cask @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium amber orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, hay, caramel, light hoppy, grass, citrus, orange. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090804]

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End. Amber brown with an off white head. Malt accented with a dry fruitiness and subtle hops in the finish. Ok.

The Baron, Knickersby. Bright orange amber with a fine lacing slick. Grass and orange aroma with a sprinkle of urinal, some good herbal and honey tones as it warms. Surprising bite of hop bitterness, apple peel and tangerine fruit, nuts, bread, lime, detectable alcohol. Lingering malted milk and cashew aftertaste. Not the sludgy confection I was expecting, but something altogether more..focused, and full of fresh malt character. Clean and slightly beautiful.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 3/11/09. Deep gold, slightly hazy with a slight white head. Aroma of tinned peaches and digestive biscuits. Flavour was sweet with some apricot jam, earthy hops and a short, bitter finish. A half pint was enough.

Golden with a small white head. Grainy and grassy aroma. Sweet grainy malt flavour. Rather boring

(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009) Copper colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of nuts, apricots and grainy malt. Malty, slightly fruity taste with grain, dried fruit, apricots and a certain spicy, mild bitterness in the finish. Rather light body, balanced sweetness. Boring but drinkable.
