Cask-conditioned at the Bookshop, Southampton 2/7/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Bog citrus hop character, sweetish malts, tropical fruits, some blueberry sweetness and a dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Cronx Bar. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, big blackcurrant vibe, raspberry leaf, fruit compote, resin, apricot jam and orange marmalade. The taste is pretty bitter, piney, resinous, wood, tannin, obvious blackcurrant character, fruit compote, nectarine, peppery spice and some brown bread base with a drying finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty flavoursome stuff. Good work.
