Farewell Jack bottleshare at Craft Clerkenwell. This one on cask from the bar. Pretty much a clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and with modest fine carbonation. Light malts, lightly sweet. Modest piney hops with lesser marmalade. Little spice on the light finish. Pretty drinkable.

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - A hazy amber body with a lacing off white head. Nose is a nice smooth rye bread with some gentle floral hops, very nicely done.Taste starts with a smooth nutty malt with the piney hops and menthol notes coming through an earthy background. A respectably oily palate, nice and smooth, and one that masks its ABV well.
