Cask at The Watford Beer Festival 2013. Poured a hazy copper colour with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, orange peal and hay. Soft fruit flavours with some honey and yeast esters. Finish was dry grains, grassy hop and some copper-like notes.

Cask handpull at The Welkin, JDW, Liverpool. Copper beer with lasting off white head. Nice. Bit perfumed. Bitter hop finish. I mean really bitter. Caramel on the aroma. Some creaminess in mouth and then really bitter finish. Yeah, it’s alright. Bit odd, but finish wins through
