Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 29th October 2022. Rated as a novelty ale. Hazy yellowy amber with shallow, loose foam and scant lacing. Honey sweet aroma. Tropical fruits, honey and just the hint of ginger in-mouth. A transient lactic touch and a finish of tangy spiced fruitiness. Full bodied with an engaging texture.

Sunday 26th Aug 2018; Head of Steam, Birmingham, cask. Dirty dish water look, cloudy and mucky; the head a wispy scum. Strange brew really, some tropical fruit aromas for me, with Mango to the fore, some sweetness in the taste but no honey or oatmeal flavour that I could detect. The look put me off to be honest.
