Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a hazy golden amber with a medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts and dried fruit plus some hoppy hints. In the mouth it is mainly sweet but with some bitter intrusions as well and a creamy texture. Flavour is malts, mixed hops, and hints of tropical fruits, toffee and biscuits. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent.

Study your tide times if you ever plan a trip to Holy Island - definitely a must if in Northumberland. This one less so unless you are after a session ale. Easy but ordinary. Light sweetness, hoppy and dryish

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a clear dark gold with small white head. Aroma of toasted grains, straw, light fruity to floral hops. Taste - toasted malt, sweet fruity resin, a bitter herbal in the finish. Light to medium body and carbonation. OK but a notch below their usual standard of beer.
