Cask. Clear mid to dark amber (conker colour!). Thinnish dense head. Lacing lasts to the end.
Aroma of English malt and hops. Floral, fruity and hoppy but on the muted side. GK yeast is present.
A rather ordinary toffee malt flavour with a medium bitter finish.
Soft carbonation with a somewhat chewy feel.
A traditional malty bitter.

Served on cask at the Shakepeare pub in Manchester city centre
Now normally even the most mediocre twig water cask has the reddeming feature og a handsome looking pint, but heither that nor a half gave anything but a clear brown liquid below an okay white head
Twig water, slightly maltier nuttier twig water though

(Notes of 03/11/2008) Tasted by 1/3 pint at the John Russell Fox, a JDW pub in Andover, during the chain's beer festival; served by a non-sparkler pour.
A: light reddish amber hue comes with an off-white thin foamy head and low carbonation.
S: floral and spicy hops with the hallmark aroma of G.K. yeastiness, mixed with an aromatic, green apple-ish hoppiness as of Bramling Cross and Belgian-amber-ale like aromatic maltiness. It's not bad overall but I really can't tell much difference of this ale from many many other G.K. beers! Lots of ales brewed in Bury St. Edmunds have somehow been uniformly conditioned or "institutionalised" even (the latest example is Hardys&Hansons Olde Trip)?!
T: a "healthy" input of aromatic maltiness constitutes the backbone of the flavour, in support of a lighter, sour-sweet fruity hoppiness, leading towards a chewy yet fragrant bitter aftertaste, with plentiful herbal bitterness to linger until the end.
M&D: lightly carbonated and medium-bodied, this is a standard G.K. ale, with the same kind of yeast-hop formula as imparted to most other sister products I've tried; by no means "bad", but it fails to impress or inspire...
