Bottle picked up from Oakchurch, Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire consumed at Mum and Keiths, Kempsey, Worcestershire Monday 15th July 2019. Pours reddy amber, hazy with an off white head. Fruity, touch harsh, a little chemical taint, plenty of citrus, it's not bad, however it's not my cup of tea either.

15th May 2019. Cask pint, hand pulled in the Pen & Wig, Cardiff. Amber body, white head. Citra and Mosaic hops used, so obviously it has a citrus leaning aroma and flavours.

Cask at Reading BF. Brown-black with a negligible head. Now, this smells lovely, a huge waft of chocolate and coffee rising from the glass. The taste is similar, with a wodge of coffee liqueur for good measure, a light roastiness, a little bit of blackberry and some prunes. A touch of earth, then more chocolate and coffee liqueur. Rich, semi-sweet, and heady, this is an indulgent treat. Beer of the festival for both Justin & I.

On cask at Criterion in Leicester. Shared with Finn. Dark amber body, unclear. Spotty lacing from a diminishing beige head. Nutty malts on the nose. Earth and nuts to a malt driven taste profile, hints of vingar. Ends with sourish malts. Not in its best condition at the pub. (11.02.2019).
