(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 19 May 2023) Amber colour with brief, frothy head. Fruity, hoppy nose with dried fruit, citrus, grapefruit and resin. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of caramel, dried fruit, apricots, resin and a balanced herbal/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, with a generous hop character. Very nice.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a creamy head. It’s well hopped, hiding its strength to an extent. There’s also a light fruitiness evident.
