Cask half-pint at the source, shared with Mat on 25th January 2024. Clean golden body, white crust. Citrus front with grapefruit like aroma and flavour to the fore, other citrus fruits turned up, but this didn't 'float my boat' at all.

Cask at Gunmakers Arms, Birmingham. Aroma has malty chocolate and a hint of tobacco (but that could be the pub). Dark murky brown. Blotchy foamy beige head. It's the sour berries that are noticeable first. Followed by dark chocolate and dark malts. The sourness is in throughout. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice enough without being overly smooth.
