Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark ruby with a small scummy cream head. The aroma is mainly floral hops with traces of spice and biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a little underlying fruity bitterness. Flavour is mainly floral hops and marmalade plus hints of apricot and citrus. A little cola comes through later leading to a somewhat fruity finish. This is decent.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 9/6/2016. Deep copper, with a decent, off-white, head. A malty beer, with some citrus character, sweetish malts, a touch of caramel, and some leafy hops, before a moderately bitter finish. Good.
