On keg at the Three Tuns, Bristol 20/12/2013. Golden in colour, with a slight white head and moderate fizziness. Floral hoppiness, tangerine fruits and a hint of lemon, with some balancing cereal maltiness and dryish finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 14/11/2013. Near black with a slight tan head. Sweetish aroma of dark fruits, chocolate and a touch of honey, with some toasted malts in the background. Flavour was similar, with the honey a subtle presence, and the finish dryish. Good.
