Handpulled cask ale, third at Jacobs Beer House. A white head over a hazy amber coloured body. Malt-fruity nose. Taste of apricot and rhubarb mixed with brown malts. Medium to thin boded. Fair enough, strange kind of a wheat beer (Bradford 08.07.2015).

Cask @ Record Cafe, Bradford. Copper with a glow and a small creamy head. Has a sweetened nose where the rhubarb is at its most prominent, although it’s evident as a flavour too, as is its wheat ale style.

Bottle from Latitude, Leeds. Copper amber with next to no head. Not as strong are you might expect with a good fruity nose. This is less stated in flavour but there’s some fruit here too. The ale also has a lightly sweetened character and is crisp.

Cask @ Leeds Station Wetherspoon. A hazy golden colour with a very thin head. Has a strength, but is not overbearing with light tropical fruitiness in its taste that’s over far too quickly as there’s little aftertaste. Has a sugary nose.
