Cask handpump in Woolston. Hazy dark amber color, light tan head, good retention. Aroma of earthy citrus. Taste is wet earth, brown bread dough. Very nice.

fairly carmelly with decent hop character and good bitterness, but feels a bit worn down. Moderate bitter finish. Can’t blame them it is not fresh. Just glad I got to try this.

Draft. A hazy red-amber beer with a t hin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and butterscotch.

(On tap) Slightly hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. A somewhat fat aroma of malt and caramel - perhaps even some alcohol accents. Medium-bodied with light notes of nuts before a fairly dry and hoppy but also a little watery finish. Not really equalling the other Tvisted Hops. 32 IBU. 240108
