Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear dark gold, light amber with small white head. Aroma of citrus zest, grass, light bread. Taste notes the same, quite bitter throughout, slightly resinous finish. Medium body and carbonation, slightly sticky. It's ok.

Cask at Lindisfarne Inn near Berwick-upon-Tweed - clear golden body with a short white head. Nose is malty and a bit fruity, taste has a good caramel hit with a good body. Decent enough quality.

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Filmy layer, spotty lacing, crystal clear golden body. Moderate smell of fruity bread. Grainy fruits to the taste profile. Quite nice fruity bitterness to the ending. Satisfying. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).
