Can from Cork & Cask. Black body with ruby highlights and a beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of coffee grounds and roasted malt. Flavour of espresso and cranberry. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Very soft fizz. Rich and roasted, very nice indeed. The body is a touch light but the flavour is excellent.

Can from Cork & Cask. Appearance - golden with a very light haze and a fluffy white head. Nose - orange and distinctive (not that I can pin it down) herbaceous note. Lime peel too. Taste - bread, caramel and lime. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy middle and bitter finish. Overall - oh, the distinctive green note is pine. Pretty good example of a West Coaster.
