Cask-conditioned at Gloucester Beer Festival, 31/3/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of mango, gooseberries and tangerines, with a grassy hop kick. Flavour had plenty more fruits, some biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Very good.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Cloudy yellow-coloured with a small head. It’s nicely hopped, but there’s a good and stated fruitiness about the ale too with a low citrusness. Easy-drinking.
