Very nice, too bitter and perhaps dry but well rewed. Creamy feeling. I had it at GBBF 2008.

Handpulled at the White Bear, Masham. Amber coloured with thick Yorkshire head, looks good. Little aroma initially, but later has a spicey pepper note, malty dry fairly standard bitter. Very good.

Cask, The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Oadby. Amber with a white bubbly head. Aromas are smooth caramel with floral notes and fruity melon. Flavours are toffee malts and fruity citrus with a dry finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/3/08. A standard session bitter with a sweet edge. Amber with a decent white head. Did not stand out but perfectly drinkable.

Cask at The Penny Black,JDW, Bicester, Oxon, 29-03-08 Mid amber pour with a good white bubbly head, in fact a pretty good looker. Some strawberry cream in the mouth with a layering of light vanilla, I suppose like one of those biscuits with a creamy vanilla filling. Lacking in the bitterness stakes or hops but its fine, gets a bit furry in the mouth after a while.
