Beer No 41 on the Wilsons’ Road Trip 2005. Cask at The Church Inn, Ludlow. Orange with aroma of caramelly malt and citrous hop. Good bitter finish. Particularly fresh and pleasant.

Standard copper colour. Fruity, with some dusty hops. Finishes dry. A perfectly acceptable session bitter but, in truth, there’s not a lot happening to lift it above the ordinary. Cask (gravity dispense), Catford Beer Festival, June 2005.

Cask@Catford Beer Festival. Pretty smooth, with some lightly sweet crystal malt type flavours. Light wholemeal crackers and light earthy, citric hops, a little thin for my liking and slightly beelow average.

Cask conditioned at The Church Inn, Ludlow.
Orange brown beer with lacing head. This has a dry caramel background with a light roasted flavour and a bitterness that totally takes over the flavour. Fresh hop flavours renew the interest in a good all round session bitter.

Nice enough hand pumper bitter. Served at the right temp, this ale brings back memories of quaint english pubs. Seemed better to me than the current ratings, but maybe that is just nostaglia talking. Correct bitter experience. Crisp and fresh amber pour. Pleasant bitterness with a clean finish Worthy of an afternoon of darts.

[Cask] A nutty brown (brown-orange) beer with a bubbly fine head. The nose is light with a hoppy bitter note. The flavor is cask flat perfumated malty note with an OK bitterness running across the tongue. Is it the hop or the yeast that makes it taste artificial? A boring bitter. The artificial flavor kills it.

Cask conditioned. Amber with allmost no head. Very easy to drink, but a bit weak and watery. Hops everywhere..

[Hand pumped] Amber color. Poor aroma. Nice, fresh taste in the front; too watery later. Bitter final, but maybe too long hop infusion.
