Hand pulled half pint from the Baltic Fleet, Liverpool; drank outside in the late afternoon sunshine. Nice looking beer, amber with a decent crown on top. Orchard fruit aroma and initial taste, some semi-sweet maltiness comes in and changes the flavours, easy going Bitter and pleasant in the sun.

Fra cask på Craft Beer Company: klar kobbergylden med skum som varer. Deilig, krydret maltsmak med skogbunn og litt beske urter. Lang, krydret ettersmak og tilfredsstillende helhetsinntrykk.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Mid-brown and clear with a full off-white/beige head. Toffee and cinnamon on the nose with a note of millionaire shortbread. Sweetish taste but a bit messy with some herbal notes among the medicinal spice character. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Okay but hard to get excited about.
