Cask at the Pocket, Islington on 28th March 2025. Clear gold with shallow white foam and scant lacing. Tropical fruits and sweet spices in aroma. Sweet orchard and summer fruits in-mouth, a nutty malt kick and grassy hop finish. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Very pleasant.

500 ml bottle. Pours a clear amber with light head. Aromas of grass and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional dry fruit and biscuits. Ok for the low ABV

On cask at Dores Inn, Dores - hazy gold pour with a short but lasting white top. Lots of sweet citrus going on here, with a little piney bite at the back.
