[Cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Deep gold with a small white head. A weird hybrid - the sweet maltiness of a bitter dropped into a hoppy golden ale. The result is certainly full-flavoured, but ultimately unbalanced and a little sickly.

Dec 3, 2009 Cask, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Oadby. Golden amber with a thin dense foam. Aromas are peppery and nutty with some toffee. Lemon with hints of peach. Flavours are sweet caramel with dry tea and earthy Autumn fruit. Creamy with a dry, woody finish. OK.

Nov 18, 2009 Cask conditioned handpump Briar Rose Birmingham. A golden coloured beer with a white head and lacing. The aroma has good lemon and other citrus fruit hoppy notes. These follow through to the mouth where there is also a hint of spicy prickle. A good body and a tasty beer.

Nov 15, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Rayners Lane. Amber with an off white head. A very drinkable session bitter with no outstanding characturistics. Fairly dry.

Nov 12, 2009 Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford in ’Spoons BF ’09. Copper amber with a small white head. Sour buttery, no, cheesy aroma, which I quite liked. Strawy mothball taste is less appealing. Sharp bitter finish gives a rather harsh feel.

Nov 12, 2009 JDW Rochester. Nicely hoppy session bitter with some citric character and good juice base. I liked this very much.

Nov 9, 2009 Cask at the Standing Order (JDW), Stevenage. Amber with a thick billowing cream coloured head; vague, malty aroma; rich earthy caramel malt flavour; and a satisfying, deeply bitter, finish. Excellent.
