Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 30th September 2022. Clear coppery amber with shallow off-white foam and patchy lacing. Nutty malts in aroma. Spiced fruits and plenty of maltiness in-mouth, and a finish of hazelnut with hints of bitterness. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and a medium body. An interesting ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Drapers Arms, Bristol 15/2/2017. Amber in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Pleasant session bitter, with some red berry and tangerine fruits, biscuity malts and a touch of floral hop, before a lingering bitter finish. Enjoyable.
