Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth with mild fine carbonation. Smooth and sweet pale malts. Nice light sweetish floralness with well integrated mild lime. Touch of sweet pine. Smooth finish. Very mellow but tasty enough and pretty drinkable.

Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate with mild nibbly carbonation on the back end. Light creamy malts, sweet and smooth. Crystallised fruits, sweetish orange and a little hop spice. Light semi dry finish brings pithy bitterness. Easy drinking and pretty decent.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Very dark ruby red with a creamy head. This is also called ’Winter Warmer’ under the name which I bought this, but am assured it’s the same ale. For 5.2% it’s a very thin tasting ale with only a modicum of winter fruitiness in its taste behind an extremely light spiciness. It’s nose packs a little more character with a small fruity sweetness evident here.

On tap at the Red Squirrel. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - flowers and custard. Taste - tangy orange and creme brulee. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - interesting but more interesting than good. Sum of the parts is good though.
