Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Clear gold with a thin white head and a light fizz. Cracking condition, well done 'Spoons. Straw, light citrus and a decent, well, balanced bitterness to finish. Maybe a tad thin, but a good start to the fest nevertheless.

Hand-pulled third of a pint at a local Wetherspoons on 15th October 2023. Pale golden body, white crown. Nice hop profile, mild citrusy nose and taste, some honest bitterness in there too. Liked it.

Cask at Flowerpot, Derby (23/9/23). Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s roast malts in the aroma, plus liquorice and chocolate. In the mouth it has a tangy texture with malts, chocolate, cola, liquorice and traces of aniseed. Finish is slightly bitter. This is OK, but not particularly chocolatey.
