23/2/2019. Cask at the Great British Winter Beer Festival 2019, Norwich. Pours clear dark amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of malt, hops, fruit and sweet caramel. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, hint of tartness. Moderate body, oily/watery texture, soft carbonation. Fruity, tangy finish.

Bottle at the Cherry Tree, Catthorpe - 16/05/12. Amber coloured with a white head. Sweetish caramel malts dominate the nose. Taste as nose with a little fruit in the background and some hop bitterness. Medium bodied - drinkable but doubt I’d re-visit!

Cask at GBBF 2006. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Yeasty brown bitter with good toffee and good mouthfeel. Really quite gingerish malt. Hops are there and underpin the malt. Sweetish and in marvellous condition.
