Draft with trivia. Golden orange pour with a frothy head served in big ol mug. Nose is crackery and some bread. Tastes of water crackers, bread crust, hint of fruits and malt, touch peppery. Medium bodied. Zippy enough palate. Satisfying.

Brewery draught, 11/12/25, as pictured.
Vanilla and chocolate with low roast. No alcohol, low fruitiness.
Fruity up front with milk chocolate, earth and light roast. Chewy texture with no syrup but also retaining a comforting malt sweetness that this older RIS style often lacks. Bit of vanilla and raisin like character further adds levity and complexity. Great, more contemporary take on an old style.

Brewery draught, 11/12/25, as pictured.
Sweaty, woody, citrusy hops with good pine and no resin or toast. Bit of pepper and vanilla with a fairly bready malt character.
Very fruity, very bready. Weird petrol character. Oddly low bitterness with a strong honey and marmalade character. Huge carbonation, almost wondering if it's refermenting. Kind of dull and watery on the finish with vague bitterness and flavors.
