Cask, half-pint shared with Finn at The Market Porter. Clear copper coloured body topped by a bubbly, white head. Herbs, almond and mid-sweet malts to the nose. Plain malty flavoured taste, hints of almond. Malt-fruity, bitter tail. Does not feel thin on the swallow. Quite nice (London, 04.11.2012).

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of sweetish, tropical fruits with some grassy hops. Flavour had solid biscuity malts, more fruit and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
