Bottle from Woods Village Shop, Colaton Raleigh. Dark copper-amber with a small bubbly head. It’s a lightly sweetened bitter with a fair fizz in the palate.

500ml bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Pours clear red-amber with a decent creamy head. Aromas of red fruit, toffee. Lightly sour. Taste is more of the same, building sour and oaky. Bit of an odd one, not sure it’s meant to be sour. Nice enough though.

Bottle. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and berry fruit. Flavour had bready, earthy malts, more grit and decent bitter finish. Fine.
