A beautifully balanced beer, fruity by nature, with a well-rounded body and the suggestive echo of Crystal Malt.

Cask @ The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber, small off-white head. Aroma bears an alluring sweetness, continuing to taste with caramel providing the bulk of its character. Smooth on the palate, with a soft fruitiness. Decent.
