Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons on 13th October 2023. It's not Ruby in colour, more amber with an off-white crust. More leafy than floral in the aroma, no dark fruits for me either, Rye giving an earthy touch; didn't take to it.

Amber / light copper with a frothy off-white head. Malty and a little fruity, not much of an aroma, some earthiness in the mouthfeel and some sweetness pulling through
