Cam from House Of Trembling Madness. Deep golden body with a faint haze and an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, blood orange and peach. Flavour follows the aroma - caramel, blood orange and peach. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. It’s good but not quite as bitter as I hoped it would be.

Keg at the Sheffield Tap. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Aromas of resin pine and grapefruit. Taste is more of the same. Good example of the style, resiny bitter finish.
