Feb 18, 2006 Pint pulled at The Railway in Putney (London), a very clear amber with a thin creamy head. A sour aroma - likely because of lake of quality control at my local JDW - but still some hints of hoppy fruitiness. Smooth in the mouth with a sharp bitter finish. The slight fruity flavours are combined well with the subtle maltiness.

Nov 26, 2006 Updated: May 23, 2007Mildly poisonous sulphurous nose in the Burton tradition. Thick shaving foam head. Bready maltiness and gentle hop bitterness. Clear chesnut body. Watery Bitter cordial. Pleasant enough but a little insipid. (Re-rate, 23/05/07) The Railway Hotel, Knickersby. Doggy nose becoming more splendidly vile as you drain the glass. A squeeze of old sock. Poisonously sulphurous. Delicate, creamily malty sessions with best-a-man-can-get lacework and drawn-out fresh-bread afters.

Jul 11, 2007 Cask conditioned - handpump - Last Plantaganet, Leicester. A copper coloured beer with tight white head, and thick lacing. The aroma has a little sulphur which is also noticeable in the taste, but that’s much nicer with decent hops and a nice hit of malt. Quite mellow with even a bit of mcitrus. Much better than I expected.
