Cask conditioned at The Blue Bell, Barton, Lancs. Amber with white head. Pretty much a straight forward, northern bitter. Easy on the hops with crisp malt body. Fair enough.

Cask (handpump) at the City Arms, Manchester. Amber colour, creamy head. Fairly standard Northern bitter. Lightly fruity. Light sharp bitterness in the mouthfeel. Easy drinking and quite tasty.

Cask at The Harp Covent Garden 7 Feb 08. Golden brown colored. A small creamy head leaving patterns on the glass. Modest fruity aroma. Well rounded pleasant dry fruity flavor. Bitter aftertaste. Quite good.

Cask pint at Frisco Grille in Columbia. Cloudy and muddy amber colored body. Light, nutty, soggy hop nose, soggy but still fresh smelling, with some wheat notes and some oranges and other fruit. Fresh tasting, with dull pine and honey flavored hops, lightly grassy. The honey and orange note survices into a very long lasting finish. Overall it’s mild, quiet and fresh, easily drinkable, and it holds up better than it’s gravity would suggest. Very well made.
