Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - amber with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Nose - fruit cake, light orange and gentle caramel. Taste - malt loaf and dried orange. Palate - creamy texture, light to medium bodied. Decent, dryness on the finish. Overall - decent.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Golden in colour, with a touch of haze, and a slight, white, head. Tropical fruits, citrus hops, biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Good.
