Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. Smooth, thinnish and hoppy, but certainly a session ale.

Keg at the Punt Yard, Cambridge. Dark gold and a bit hazy. It’s a new keg so there is a bit of a lively head which is gleaming white. Light berry and grass scents with a toasted note in the background. Tastes sweet but very bland, and there’s a metallic off note around the finish. Don’t think I care for this all that much. Low on personality. But it’s passable.

On cask at Carter’s Tap. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - orange and apricot. Biscuits at the back. Taste - more of the same really. Persistent tangerine note that outlasts the biscuits. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good ale in good condition.

Bottle from Oddbins Beer Shop, Blackheath. Black pour with a beige head. Dark chocolate, blackberries, red fruits, licorice, toffee and caramel in the aroma. Flavours of black cherries, licorice, black treacle, sweet spice. Long, warm and perhaps I might venture- soothing alcohol action down the gullet. Tasty.
