Hand-pulled third of a pint on 18th October 2024, in the Cordwainer. Golden pour, bright and clean, on top a soft white crown. Decent blend with a fruity nature wrapped up in a caramel wafer.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading] A bright golden amber pour with a smattering of white head; fruity aroma with some orange and pear; weighty with an orchard fruit taste giving lots of pear esters; then a dry finish with caramel and some tart apple skin. Quite a heavy pint, not something that can be downed quickly.

10/2/2019. Bottle from Bottle Mix, Kettering. Pours dark gold with a white head. Aroma of caramel, malt and light hops. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. This brewery does much better than this.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2018. Amber colour lasting off white head. Bit of diacetyl on aroma. But of toffee not much hop. Not great.

On cask at Woodfest 2017 Castleford - Hazy straw gold body, thin white head. Nose is very fruity, almost summer punch like, with the taste the same. Good long bittersweet finish.
