From cask at Victoria Tap, Manchester, 28.03.25. Golden amber. Dense and persistent beige head and lacing. Fine aroma of sweet pale malt, medium roasted malt, pine and Sevilla marmalade. Good! Perhaps slightly waterish.

Malt, sweet & toffee aroma. Toffee, nutty, raisin & berry tastes with a tangy finish. That's a lovely Cask.

Gravity cask at the Stratford Alehouse, Stratford Upon Alehouse. Golden brown, clear with a smattering of off-white head. Light malty aroma, some orange peel, maybe a little smoke. Complex taste, sweet malt with toffee, a little bit of marmalade and stone fruit, tea, grassy herbs. Bitterness right at the finish. Light body and almost no carbonation. Impressive.

Light sweet flavour with some English yeast, citrus peel, leaves. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes with notes of light pine, lightly toasted grains, more citrus peel. Not bad.

Cask at GBBF �17, day one, 08/08/17. Clear golden with a very well appointed off white head with great retention skills .... a looker of a beer ! Nose is orange peel, straw, light bread, melon. Taste comprises toasted grains, bready malts, orange peel, tangerine. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. More a gold than a bitter for me but a great cask beer none the less.
