[December 2022] Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a soft, citrus nose. Beautifully fruity and bitter, mandarin oranges to the fore with a nice dollop of light biscuit malt lurking underneath and hints of pine throughout.

Cask at Ebenezers, Nantwich. Pours a hazy dark gold with a small white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and melon in the aroma. The mouth feel is dominated by fruitiness, although a bit watery. Autumn fruits and mushy apples with hints of tangerine and lemon. Finish is a bit sticky. Not bad, but rather too fruity for me.

Cask @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Clear golden with a creamy head and a session texture. It's clean tasting with light citrus tropical fruits in both aroma and taste.
