Cask at the Barrel Vault, St Pancras on 7th February 2026. Hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Pungent fruity aroma. Citrus and fruity berries in-mouth and a bitter finish.smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body.

On tap at The Old Brewer. Amber with a small head. Sweetish with malt, citrus, mild floral notes and some butter. Not that bitter.

On tap. Pours a dull amber with moderate head More of an English IPA with biscuity malts and dried fruit. Slight bitter finish. Not much to write home about…
