Halifax Beer Festival 2023. Clear copper-amber in appearance. Certainly a bitter with a few caramels in taste, and it's quite smooth too

Was sure I'd had this before. Seems I didn't check in. Decent.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours clear dark gold with a thin just-off-white head. Aromas of dark fruit and brown bread. Taste is caramel, red fruit and more bread. Slightly thin, and a little sweet.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - amber with an off white head. Nose - burnt toffee, dry biscuit or brown bread. Taste - toffee to caramel, dry bread again. Palate - creamy texture and a bit sweet. Light to medium bodied. Overall - a bit on the sweet side for my taste.

440ml can. Gluten Free. Golden amber colour, off-white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, fruity, citric, hop. Taste is malt, grains, some fruity notes, with earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Slip Inn, York 4 March 2018. Amer in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. An easy-drinking bitter, with some crisp malts, hedgerow fruits and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
