Wethersoon Autumn Beer Festival 2017. Cask @ Beckett’s Bank, Leeds. Clear copper with a small glow and a carbonation. It’s lighter textured than its strength suggests with a good hoppiness and an inoffensive spiciness that lingers.

19th Oct 2017: third of a pint in my local Wetherspoon pub. Golden orange pour, off-white topping. Light citrus notes in the floral aroma, malts appear in the taste, but this is a floral hop centric brew and I didn't really take to it.
