Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours clear garnet with a soft, off-white foam head. Holds a doughy, toasty malt aroma with hints of dark fruits. Light to medium sweet flavor with light, leafy bitterness, light caramel, dry toast, berries. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Faintly dry finish with some leaves, caramel or toffee, toasted sugar. Not at all bad.

Cask handpull at The Parrot, Canterbury. mid to light brown colour with thin beige head. Slight toffeeish aroma. Only some sheps yeast flavour. Quite malty. Its not in best nick. Only cask they have. Some fruit like the late red but finish is sharper. Almost no condition but the flavour is ok. And has some decent bite on the finish. Has the best character of a sheps beer i have had for some time. Surprisingly decent

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Reddish copper in colour with a dense white head; rich aroma of caramel and malt; earthy, nutty malt flavours with some peppery citrus hops to finish. Better than average for an SN seasonal.
