Third by cask at GBBF Winter, Astbury Bar. Shared with Finn. Clear golden-brown body. Filmy, bubbly layer, scattered lacing. Faint aroma of toffee-fruit. Mixed taste of earthy malts and leafy hops. Ends bittersweet. Rather thin on the sallow. Accepted. (Birmingham 04.02.2020).

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep cloudy amber. Nice head. Nose - light marmalade and biscuits. Taste - light spicy biscuits. Orange again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a light tangy and then quite watery finish. Overall - drinkable.
