Cask at the gin winter ale festival. Clear red amber colour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is big resinous pine hops with hint of beech wood smoke. Some hedgerow berry in the nose as well. Flavour is berry hop with a touch of sweetness rounded out by German smoked malt. Medium palate with grassy dry finish. This is a really nice smoked IPA.

Taste comprises berry fruits, bready malt, light cocoa, dark fruit tang. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finale with light bitterness.

Pelt Trader. Old Fountain. Cask. Hazy gold beer, no real head. Palate is smooth and slightly viscous. Very modest fine carbonation. Sweetish floral malt. Touch of dried fruits. Dry finish. Doesn’t really hang together. Too stodgy because of the duff palate.
