Draft into bottle from lowcostbeer. Pours a clear amber with small white head. Aroma of toffee, pine, fruit medley, slightly floral and earthy. Taste is quite malty and bitter from the off, Toffee, marmalade, pine resin, grassy-floral finish, semi-astringent dryness. Light to medium bodied but chewy. Not the most refreshing of beers but there are some interesting flavour notes.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A touch of citrus hop, orange fruits, leafy hops, biscuity malts and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Nose - orange and light biscuit. Taste - more oranges. Palate - light to medium bodied with a fairly good middle section. The finish is too sweet. Overall - ok.

Bottle from Fountainhall Wines. It pours clear deep amber with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, fruit cake, dried apricot, tangy marmalade and wood. The taste is bitter, woody, chewy malt, resin, leather, earth, mild astringency, spice, toasted grass and marmalade with a dry, tannic finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit chewy and not overly drinkable. Fair.
