(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 21 Nov 2025) Brownish red colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with crisp-bread, orange peel, pine needles and some resin. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of crisp-bread, apricots, orange peel and a balanced citric/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Hoppy and well balanced brown ale. Very nice.
