500ml bottle from Sainsbury's and drunk at home. Dark gold, clear with s small loose white head and a little bit of lacing. Floral scent, some peach, white grape, gooseberry, a little bit of honey. Bittersweet taste, there's some sweet citrus notes in the beginning but bitter hop notes kick in later toward the finish. Apricot and some iced tea notes in the aftertaste.

Cask at the Tanners Arms, Darlington. Pours light hazy amber with a thin white head. Aromas of acetic acid and lemon. Taste is sour. Sour finish. I blame the venue to be honest, so will re-rate if I see again.

Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford. Pours a hazy golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Floral hops and grapefruit mainly in the aroma. There’s a slightly smoky quality in the mouth. Main flavours are marmalade and grains with underlying malt and caramel. Some floral hops and a hint of honey as well. Finish is flowery and hoppy. Decent enough but unexciting.

Bottle from Waitrose. Pours a clear reddish amber colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toasty bread and dark fruit. Taste has more dark fruit, caramel, toasty bread with added roasted malts, leafy hops and a touch of chocolate and nuts. Medium to full body with a smooth oily mouthfeel. Earthy hop on a long slightly roasty and bittersweet finish. Very nice flavourful beer.

Quite nice

Bottle from Redh. Appearance - copper to amber. Beige head. Nose - toffee, brown bread. Taste - caramel mainly, light biscuit or bread. Palate - close to medium bodied, too sweet for the style. Overall - needs some malt and hop bitterness on the finish.
