16.9 oz. Yellow pour with immense white head. Very faint aroma of citrus, hops, and malt. Yeast floaters in the beer. Little more harsher finish then some bitters, but quite enjoyable. Real nice lacing. Seemed to have a noticeable woody aftertaste.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Amber with a foaming unsparkled white head, in superb condition. A fruity bitter with a noticable citrus orange peel dryness and english hops bitterness which develops over a session. Highly quaffable.

bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Hazy golden yellow, large and persistent white head. Aroma of flowery hops and citrus fruit. Full-bodied, pleasantly malty with good fruity flavours (lemon, bitter orange). Good balance between the bitterness and aroma of the hops. A delicious brew.

Cask at the Diamond poured into a British pint. It pours with a completely clear orange/amber color and a fake bubbly head created because of the cask (it of course fades quickly). Aroma is musky British malts with a cheap, watered down tea aroma. Taste is empty, plain dry cracker biscuit malts. Its ok but completely boring and useless.
