Cask at the York Tap. Pours a lovely amber, with a good white head that lasts, good lacing. Touch of spritz. Good lemon and lime aromas, alongside solid caramel malts. Taste is just a touch too bitter for me, for the style, would suit an IPA better. Not well-balanced. nice enough though.

On tap @ The Haymarket Bar. Pours amber with a decent head. The nose has some grapey notes against a malt background. The taste is more intermelded grapes and malt with maybe an appley bitterness on the finish. Medium bodied and with a creamy tangy texture and some refreshment but couldn’t drink too many. Overall solid,
