Cask at the Watford Beer Fest 2013. Poured a very dark ruby with a scummy and rocky ran head. Aroma of dark fruit, ash and toffee. Full mouth feel. Slightly sharp initial flavour with subtle hop character and some roast malt. Nice rounded palate with caramel, dates and grassy hop. Best PY beer to date.

Cask at the St. Albans Beer Festival 2013. Poured a hazy, light amber colour with a scummy white head. Aroma of apple cider and vinegar. Blind tasting and I would have sworn that I had a cider in front of me and not a beer. Fruity flavour with notes of pineapple and sweets. Finishes with hay, sugar and a little stale malt. Very odd beer, no idea if it was supposed to taste like that...

Cask @ St Albans Beer Festival 2013. Golden brown, cloudy. Looks and smells off, but a deeper sniff will reveal the pineapple. The taste is fruity sour, with bitter edges. Lingering sour finish. Not sure I’m ready for this.
