March 2020: Cask halfpint at The George (JDW), Croydon. Copper colour, white head. Moderate malty aroma. The flavour is medium dry, with a nice balance between the malts and hops, very good for a 3.7% ale.

On cask at George III Hotel, Penmaenpool, Dolgellau, Wales.

Frothy, clingy off-white head over russet body.
Malt syrup, brack and red fruit - a dark nose.
Candy apple, cranberry and autumn leaf with woody hops.
Compote comeback and tart berry linger.
Dry, lt-med, slight cling.

An autumnal bitter. Nice contrast between dark flavors and dry body. Fruity bitters seem to be a Welsh thing...?

Pours amber with large slightly off-white head and patchy lacing. Aroma is weak malt with light hops.

Taste is sweetish malt with slowly increasing dry bitterness, a bit grassy with weak hints of fruit and pleasant and long lasting bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is thin with light-moderate carbonation.

Overall, very drinkable and pleasant Bitter.
