Hand-pulled at The Wenlock Arms. Clear copper, small head. Earthy nose and flavours, some sweetness balances well the bitterness. Light-bodied. Quite alright, though not over-exciting.

I found this very similat to Spitfire - smooth and carbonated with hints of sweetness, but overpoweringly hoppy, which is no bad thing.

Cask - Slightly hazy chestnut body, off white head leaving laces; Very small malty bitter nose with a caramel touch; Quite bitter body and not really cask soft with a little sharp carbonation; Medium long dry hoppy finish, with both malt and hop bitterness.

Cask @ Aarhus ølfestival 2008. Clear and amber coloured with almost no head. Soft and malty with notes of toffee, caramel and a discret hoppyness. Nice mouthfeel.

Cask gravity @ Ølfestival Aarhus 2008 @ Charlies Bar.
Clear medium to dark amber color with a small, virtually none appearance, virtually none lancing, fully diminishing, head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, toffee, light hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily - smooth, carbonation is soft to flat. (170508)

Cask at Århus Ølfestival. Served an almost clear, golden body with a layer of off-white bubbles on top. Citrusy hops and some caramel and malt in the aroma. Quite nice actually. Caramel and fruityness in the flavor, with citrusy hops giving some bitterness. Medium body. Delicate citrus and bitterness in the finish. Very quaffable and delicate beer. But a bit boring.
