Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden with a glow and an extremely small heze, and head. It barrel ageing is evident, coming across a tad sweet probably given its lower strength for such a brew, however it does have a recognisable Saison style and stated aftertaste in this respect.

Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden with a very thin head. Not quite your typical taste of a helles that you might find in Germany, but this mildly floral-infused effort is very tasty.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 17th October 2023. Deep reddish brown with pale tan foam and full lacing. Rich, nutty malts aroma. Malty in-mouth with caramel and nuttiness - hazelnut. A finish reflecting the liquid drain. Full bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel. Superb.

Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Black with a small light-brown head. Mild honey infused dark malty brew. Its carbonation has an impactful influence in terms of texture.
