Cask at Liverpool Beer Fest 2019. Orangey golden colour, white foam head and mellow fruity hop aroma. Taste is pale malt, grains with astringent, tangy, citrusy, grapefruit, hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, the astringency lingers at the finish. OK, spoiled abit by the astringent note.

Keg at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. It pours dark mahogany brown wjrg a small beige head. The aroma is warming spice, tangy dark fruit, orange peel, cinnamon, Jamaican ginger bread, oak, raisin, sultana and fruit cake. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, plenty of spice, dried leaves, oak, warming alcohol, leather, orange peel, pithy, earth with a spiced finish. Mediun+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. A proper autumnal ale.
