Tasted at the Queen's Hotel, Hornsey, N. London, during its mini-beerfestival in mid-July. Gravity-dispensed straight from the cask.

A: brown-ish hue, thin and fluffy foamy head, static body...
S: pear+plum like fruity sourness comes with a faintly sweet maltiness (like amber malts), overall very restrained that's due to the condition of the cask I firmly believe.
T: a sour-sweet fruity fore-taste coupled with intensifying hoppyness, which brings about chewy, tea-leafy hop flavour and the slightly tannic bitterness, buttressing a much milder textured lightly-roasted maltiness underneath; the aftertaste sees a faintly chocolatey and roasty flavour as well as a lingering flow of chewy hops. Not particularly bitter--just in place.
M&D: served slightly warmer than ideal (just like five other beers tasted during the same session), but the beer retains an averagely solid body and a flavoursome profile for a premium bitter... if only it was served slightly cooler and fresher~~
