Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright copper with a small white head and good lacing. Malts and traditional hops blend together well in the aroma. The mouthfeel has freshness with a bite. Malts are mixed with berries with underlying caramel and toffee plus hints of oranges. Finish is quite malty. This is a nice beer – and deceptively easy to dsrink !

Bright clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and for the abv, a little thin. Decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a trace of unsweet toffee. Touches of sherry and brandy with a little floral bitterness. Trace of citrus. Not bad at all, thin but pretty drinkable.

Gravity cask at Bedford Beer Festival. Medium to dark gold. Clear with perfect natural carbonation. Aroma consists of malt and straw, with a bit of orange peel and candy sugar. Nice bittersweet taste. Simple but it grows on you. Bitter finish. Mouthfeel strengthened by out-of-this-world carbonation (from a cask).
