Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol, 27/12/2016. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of crystallised oranges with some leafy hops. Flavour had more sweet fruits, rich malts and caramel, before a dryish finish. Fine.

Pours an almost clear dark gold colour with a small off white head that quickly settled to a thin film. Fruity aroma, some peach and sweet citrus, light malt. Some malt and fruit flavours and moderate bitter finish. A bit watery, drinkable but not memorable.

Cask handpulled at The Bull in Devonshire Row, London. Pours golden with an initially large creamy white head, soon dissipating. Aroma is floral, hoppy, with touch of caramel and fruit. Initially bitterness much heavier than sweetness but the two combine nicely as pint was consumed. Body is quite light, texture sticky, carbonation average. Finish is lasting bittersweet and fruity. Quite decent light bitter.

Half-pint, hand-pulled on 30th Sep 2016 at The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Dark brown with a red hue, tanned topping. Smooth bodied, slick almost, aroma and taste had hedgerow fruits in a malty pot; a trace of hop bitterness in the finish. Decent.

Dark orange color, slightly hazy, small off-white head. Aroma has some fruits and pine. Medium-bodied. Flavor has also fruityness in the front, but then nice piney bitterness. Sweetish, nicely balanced (hops and malts).
