At brewery. Apricot, cherry malt aroma. Golden amber color with small head. Slightly sweet apricot malt flavor. Very nice - an extremely fruity bitter.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is distinct peachy and strawberry fruity. Mild citric and dry, yet fruity. Dry malty and fruity finish.

Cask @ Counting House, JDW. Clear dark golden colour, white head. Aroma is fruity. Flavour is very, very sweet, bubblegum, blackcurrant. Low carbonated. Sweet and sticky finish. Very weird. Not good.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 11/04/10. A plain weird beer. Fruity, sweet and synthetic - it reminded me of the fruit salad chewing sweets from my childhood. Some tropical and berry fruit notes too, colliding in an odd mix, with sweet caramel and air freshener sweetness. Not an experience I would want to repeat.

Cask served at a perfect drinking temperature at the Theakston Brewery Bar, GBBF 08. Golden body. No head. Dark fruity smell. Taste of strawberries with additional hints of apricot. Watery texture and a very average bitter (half pint shared with Geir, 007.08.2008).

Cask at GBBF. Light amber beer with a lasting white head. Blackcurrant aroma almost to the point of resembling Ribena, with notes of grass and caramel. Ribena also shows up in the sweet flavour with a touch of black tea.
