Handpull cask at Broad Street Social, Bury. Light to mid-gold, mostly clear with a small off-white and a fair bit of lacing. Aroma is kind of hard to pin down. Malty with notes of toffee but also some bright citrus. Seems to jar a bit rather than balance, but not impossibly so. Sweet taste, again the toffee and citrus kind of get each other's way. Fairly intense bitterness just at the end. Medium body, soft carbonation. Weird but good.

Half cask at Kelham Island Tavern. Golden pour with a creamy white head, rings of lacing. Light biscuity, grainy aroma. Taste is soft and smooth, white bread, grainy, mild sweetness. Creamy, velvety feel.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 3rd February 2024. Clear gold with minimal off-white film and spot lacing. Slightly pungent aroma. Hazelnut nuttiness in-mouth with toasty caramel, and an overtone of tangy citrus fruits. A finish of freshly baked bread and nutty maltiness - hazelnut. Light body and a smooth mouthfeel.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour, with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, grainy, light toffee, herbal, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
