Cask at The Briar Rose, Birmingham. Clear light gold with small white head, nice lacing. Very much cherries in flavour, a touch bakewell tart, wafer like malts, light prickly hop finish. Quite tasty if a bit confected in adjunct but at the prices to get this in Wetherspoons its not surprising. A light to mid-bodied and slick body helps elevate this. Not bad.

Very surprised I haven’t rated this before as I’ve drunk it many a time. I can recall becoming frustrated that it wasn’t listed as an option of Lymestone when doing CAMRA beer scoring ! Anyway, cask at Standing Order, Derby. ~pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal off-white head. There’s some vague summer fruits in the aroma, but not much else. In the mouth it has floral hops and morello cherries combining to give a slightly sour edge. Hints of herbs as well and a touch of bitterness in the finish. It’s OK but not really my sort of beer at all.
