Cask at The Turf Tavern, Oxford in the company of Glen 09-11-08. Pours dark gold in colour, maybe mid amber difficult to be exact in the poor light of the Turf. Really lovely fruitiness, nice and tangy, nice citrussy bite to this beer, very decent indeed.

Draught. Clear coppery amber with loose white head. Little aroma; mostly malty. Light body and light carbonation. Very interesting spicey taste (couldn’t place it - aniseed or coriander, maybe) and some orange, with a nice bitter finish. Overall tangy and quaffable.

Hand-pulled cask at The Mid West England Bar at GBBF. Pours an one-finger, off-white head leaving fragile laceworks on my third pint glass. Hazy, dark-brown body. Moderate aroma of sweet, dark fruits. Taste is mostly similar, perhaps added a spicy bite. Quite well bodied for its alcohol strength (08.08.2008).
