11/10/2025. Cask at wetherspoon beer festival, at Cricketers, Ipswich. Nice colour. Short pour but no bother. This was ample. Aroma is malty, herbal, caramel, bready, twiggy, hedgerow, berries. Moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Moderate body, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Not bad.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#18 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Clear golden-copper ale. Sweet-hoppy character in both aroma and taste with a somewhat overbearing berry-fruit more than evident in both aspects.

Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is subdued – just hints of berry fruits and malts. In the mouth it is sweet but with some underlying sharpness and traces of alcoholic strength. Flavour has malts, rye and autumn fruits with some hints of marmalade later on. Some fruitiness in the finish. This is decent enough tastewise, but somewhat rough and ready.
