[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A bright pale amber pour with a close white head; tropical fruit aroma; smooth in the mouth with a rich fruity taste of papaya and mango; and a gentle, insistent fruity bitterness, leading to a dry bready finish. A subtle beer, best supped slowly.

On tap at Ebenezers, Nantwich. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. Oats are the mainstay of the aroma, plus some roasted malts. In the mouth it is quite bitter but with s little underlying sweetness. Flavour has oats, Bitter coffee grounds,= and malts. Hints of cola and vanilla come through later. Bitterness lasts into the dry finish. This is rather nice.

Hand-pulled pint in my local Spoon's on 18th November 2024. Halloween backwards, it's a decent beer. Clear autumnal gold body, white crown. Malty front with a citrus like undertone, easy drinking pint.
