29/1/2026. Cask at the 17th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Nice pour. Aroma is sweet, malty, citrus, straw, light tropical and mango notes. A little stewed and buttery. Quite sweet, light to moderate bitterness and body. Bitterness comes through a little more to finish. Not bad.

Runway was very underrated morning television quiz show, but you'd need a helicopter to land yourself on the man o'hoy. This is as good looking as that rock. It's a very sessionable pale that slips down the palate very well.
