Cask gravity at K&ES railway BF 2025. Clear amber gold colour lasting white. It's a decent golden ale. Some interesting malt. A little golden syrup. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Good condition. Decent

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.
