Cask conditioned at The Hobgoblin, Reading. Slightly hazy copper colour with an off-white head; inviting citrus aroma; sweet and sticky in the mouth, like drinking orange marmalade; and a bitter orange aftertaste. Very different, and interesting - but slightly too sweet for me.

Cask at The Hobgoblin, Reading. A reddish chestnut pint with a low off-white head which lasted to the bottom of the glass; nutty and malty aroma; full bodied and chewy in the mouth with predominantly fruity flavours and some subtle bitterness, leading to a fruity aftertaste. An excellent pint.

Draught at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Chestnut brown with an off-white head, aroma of citrus hops and caramel malt, intense bitter taste with some citrus on the follow-through. Amazingly robust and full-bodied for the ABV.
