Bottle. Ferndale garden centre, Coal Aston, near Sheffield. Pale amber. Soft haze. Thick, sudsy, off white head. Nose has perfumed flora. Runny honey. Some apricot jam. Very bath salt like, in a decent way. Taste is semi sweet, with a floral bitterness. Light to medium body, with a clean mouthfeel. Perfume like, bitter finish. Decent, and certainly a lot better than the first I had from this brewer.

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Hazy amber body, thick lacing white head. Nose is a gentle citrus, with a big caramel backdrop. Taste is a little cloying, but has a pretty decent bitter ending that seems to make you forget this.
