Brewed with our exclusive Buckleys yeast, they each deliver a signature taste with a surprising finish.

Cask at The Water Gate (JDW), Barnstaple. Not much aroma to speak of. Woody smoke / julmust vibes. Caramel. Boring.

Old rating - Pours a copper red colour with a creamy head. Aromas of malt and fruit. Tastes of honey mixed with caramel and fruit, with just a edge of bitterness. Feels a smooth drink with moderate carbonation. Overall one I enjoyed.

Pint of cask at the 'Spoons in Tunbridge Wells. Tastes like vinegar and that is just plain horrible.

Fra cask på Mossy Well, sammen med Steven: klar kobberfarge med fint skum som varer. Fruktig, delikat krydret og med god maltsmak. En halvpint ble egentlig litt for lite.
