22/3/2019. Bottle from Four Hops, Reigate. Pours clear dark gold with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, hops, caramel, flowers, fruit and a hint of spice. Medium sweetness and moderate fruity bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Fruity orange finish, with some linger bitterness. Quite decent

[Cask at the Ale House, Reading.] A bright copper pour with a thin beige head; rye aroma; smooth grainy body with a bittersweet taste; and a dry finish. Rather plain and ordinary.
