My personal experience is that the bottles taste a lot better than cask.
Great shame that it’s been made virtually extinct by Theakston’s Cool Cask which is a very average ale. I can’t find the bottles on anymore anymore :( and only know one pub with it on tap.
I guess it’s not so popular because of it’s low alcohol content. Sometimes it’s good just to have a great tasting beer. It doesn’t have to always be about getting drunk quick. Too often breweries are replacing great light beers with super strength crap.

It’s certainly one of my favorites if not #1. An excellent session beer when you can find it well kept.

Rich malt palate with tangy fruit and a dry finish Sigmund (2299), Hafrsfjord, Norway

Hoppy, herbal. spicy and bitter. Full bodied. I was very surprised to read all the bad ratings of this great brew. Very underrated. dhurtubise (568), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
