Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. A glossy deep reddish chestnut colour with a ring of cream head; sweet aroma of fresh orange juice; dry and fruity in the mouth with a mixture of apricot puree and bitter orange marmalade; then a sweeter marmalade finish. Less apricot than you’d expect from the name, but certainly a very fruity beer.
