Craft Clerkenwell. Almost clear amber beer, little white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Lovely sweet hops - grapefruit, tangerine, peach, mango and others. Trace of apple. Finishes dry with some marmalade bitterness. Nice beer, keeps you coming back for more.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 20/11/2012. Deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of earthy malts, molasses, citrus hops and some hedgerow fruits. Flavour had a solid malt base, brown sugar, more tropical fruits and a hoppy, dry finish. Good.
