Cask at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 23rd March. Pours amber in colour with great clarity, fruit and hops were present in the aroma stakes. This was a very good beer that got better as it warmed up, once again just a bit on the cold side. Plenty of hops hit you along with ever present knowing nod of the alcohol reminding you that you are indeed drinking a bit of a beast, touch chewy and fruity, but a great beer nonetheless that would probably have been marked higher if it had have been a bit warmer.
