Bottle at ash's. Pours clear golden, nose is toffee, floral, light citrus, taste is dry, bitter, some lemon.

Cask at Half Moon, Darlington. Golden amber colour, white foam head leaving some lacing and malty grainy aroma. Taste is malt, caramel, grainy, biscuit with woody notes, almost roasty & smokey, and some underlying citric bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, drying bitter finish. OK

On cask at the Sun Hotel in Warkworth. Added this as a Bitter as it wasn't dark enough for an amber ale. The taste makes me think that there may be a possibility of spice/herb/vegetable but lack of information means the larger catch all of Bitter would be safest style. Appearance - golden with a decent lacy head. Nose - something that reminds me of spruce and something a bit like wood spice. Biscuit malt and citrus hops in there somewhere too. Taste - more of the same. Spiced biscuit dominates. Palate - light to medium bodied. Crunchy texture. Nice finish. Overall - enjoyable.
