Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Clear golden with a thin head. Has a dry tropical fruit taste that’s not overly stated but does provide enough flavour to enjoy. These linger in its aftertaste.

On cask from the Black Swan in Pickering. Appearance - golden with a thin but attractive head. Nose - grapefruit and orange. Taste - orange and apricot. There’s a creamy yeasty thing. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a decent example of the style.
