Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 16/10/2022. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Leafy hops, tangerine and apricot fruit, a touch of hay and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Half-pint, festival cask ale at S.Fowler & Co (JDW). Shared with Finn. Clear warm golden body, spotty lacing from a film-type layer. Moderate hop fruity taste of grass and peaches. Peachy flavours joined by leafy hops, and bread-like malts. Rounded ending with a distant bitter twist. Fair enough. (Ryde, IoW, 20.10.2022).

Cask at Bull & Stirrup, Chester. Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. The nose is just some vague tropical fruits. In the mouth it starts off with floral hops and tropical fruits, before becoming more distinctly ibtter with some hints of citrus. Finish is bitter and slightly dry. It’s OK – nothing to write home about.

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Wetherspoon 2022 Autumn Beer Festival Ale. Golden with a creamy head. Nice and hoppy with peach evident in both aroma and taste, providing some sweetness, with a late bitter finish.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a tight white head; peach aroma; a pleasant stony peach taste; and a dry lingering peach finish. I'm a big fan of peachy flavours, so I thought this was excellent.
