500ml clear bottle; BB 31st Jul 19. Poured into a UK straight sleeve pint glass. Good clean and clear mahogany body, off-white crown. Aroma and taste is dominated by the Rye content, some decent hop action gives some late bitterness and balance out the Rye/Malty sweetness. Liked it.

Hand-pulled cask pint on 13th Nov 2018; The White Ball, a Wetherspoons in Tiverton, Devon. Golden amber body, creamy head in colour and texture, decent lacy too. Malty lead in both the aroma and taste, light sweetness throughout on a fruity hop base. Had this many times, but somehow it's never been rated by me before. I like it.

500ml bottle bought at a Tesco store. Shared with Finn. Upper part lacing from a stable fawn-coloured head. Deep mahogany coloured body. Malt-fruity aromas, bread and dried fruits. Taste fine with spiced fruits, bread and light malty sweetness. Smootly roasted ending. Quite alright. (Hotel room, Swansea 04.10.2018).

Half-pint, cask ale at Hogarths. Bright amber coloured body under a patchy head, Clingy lacing. Grainy malts on the nose. Bread-like malts to the taste profile, citric hints beneath. Mild resinous bitterness to the finish. Clean in the mouth. Fair enough. (Swansea 01.10.2018).
