Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm Amber colour. Fruity nose with plums and vegetables. Sweet with sugar and ash, medium bodied. Densely malty with a grassy, resiny finish that just gown in bitterness. Solid, but too sweet bitters are not really my cup of tea.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour with thin beige head. Yeasty aroma with candied orange peel and some caramel. Quite sweet in mouth with dried fruit peel flavours. Finish is citric, acidic which balances the sweetness. Some hop. Quite like this
