5/7/2024. Cask at 27th Festival of Beer and Brewing, Stowmarket. 4.0% abv. No mention of Peacock in the name just English Pale Ale but assume it’s the same. Pours clear dark orange amber with a small bubbly frothy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, orange, citrus, caramel, malt. Quite drinkable.
