On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - a hazy golden pour with a white head, the haze taking some time to clear. The nose is grapefruit, and very strong tropical fruits, the taste is almost floral, with a heavy bite of kumquat. Not too gassy, not too oily. Refreshing, but strong. Not a session beer.

Cask. Clear amber golden with a small off-white head. Sweetish overripe fruit and alcohol in the aroma. Quite full-bodied, sweetish fruit, almost fat with a warming alcoholic finish and a solid dose of hops in the finish. 200110
