Cask @ Exchange Craft Beer House, Bradford. Amber-gold with a creamy-smooth head. It has a smooth texture too. Is a mid-bitterness hoppy brew.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby Pours pretty much jet black with a small off-white head. Nose is mainly dark fruits but also some malts. AS you might expect from a brewer in Pontefract, the main taste is liquorice, but there are also dark fruits, grains and roasted malts. Finish is nice and fruity. Not at all bad – will try it again if I see it.

Cask-conditioned at the White Swan, York August 2019. Pale amber in colour, with a tight, white, head. A sweetish pale ale with some leafy hops, caramel and rich tea malts, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.
