UPDATED: SEP 4, 2021 Cask at Charlie Hall; dark clear amber pour with a fluffy off white head, aroma has malt, taste is malty, hint of fruit, slightly bitter, classic English bitter

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2021 Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours “bitter brown” with ample white head and good lacing. Malts and sugar in the nose. Sweet malts again in the mouth, with traces of caramel and nuts. Some bitterness comes thorugh at the finish. A decent traditional bitter – but a bit one dimensional.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2019 Cask handpull at The County Hotel Spoons Ashford. hazy brown colour lasting beige head. decent condition. some biscuit something a little harsh. some hop on finish. standard bitter slightly sour. good condition.

UPDATED: OCT 9, 2019 Cask beer served at the Elms Leigh Village, ho hum. I had a mixed grill with this, the steak tasted of steak, the gammon tasted of gammon and so on and so on. Therefore it will come as no surprise that my pint of bitter tasted of old socks and lavatory bowls with just the slightest hint of sump oil and bogies. Of course I'm lying here, the gammon tasted like tadpoles. Really nice pint, beery I'd say. You say you want a revolution.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2019 Definately bitter, sweet, slightly fruity aroma, nothing special but more or less quaffable.

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2019 Sample at the gate house Jdw. Medium white head. clear pale golden pour. Light bitterness.

Wow, first rate of this in nearly three years. Bottle, courtesy of my mate Totnes. Opened with a big hiss. Pours clear, pale amber. Lively stuff. Huge, foamy, milk white head. Nose has nutty grain. Leafy hop. Bit of a wood glue thing. Taste is nutty sweet. Plenty of green leaf bitterness. Light body. Slightly drying. Low carbonation. Light bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Bell Hotel, JDW - Norwich. Pours clear, dark gold with a dense, creamy off-white head. Toasted leaves and husky grains in the aroma. Light sweet flavor with leafy bitterness, some dry toffee, leather, grain husk, tobacco. Light bodied with fine carbonation. OK finish, some grassy and leafy bitterness, more grain and tobacco, wood, leather. So so bitter.

Cask at JDWs on Whitehall. Slightly sweet maltiness, some butterscotch, a refreshing streak of citrus. Nice.

30th Sep 2015: two hand-pulled cask pints in my local Wetherspoons. Clear amber/light brown body, an off-white topping stayed around for the whole pint each time. Fruity and malty with a hop backbone that kept in the shadows throughout, semi-sweet really with a mixed bag of fruity aromas and flavours.
