Cask at the NWAF, 2012. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Banana, mango and peach aroma. Syrupy pear action in the taste with a fruity-malt infusion on the palate. Not bad.

Cask at the NWAF, Manchester, 2012. Amber pour with a white head. Orange marmalade aroma. Fruity. Fruity-hop tang with a hint of tangerine. Fruit laden finish. Well, judging by the pump clip I’ve learnt the erstwhile elves help Mr Christmas make presents all year round and to help him relax he takes out his frustrations on the goblins, well you live and learn!

[Bottle from brewer’s own stand at the Chiltern’s Festival of Food, Great Missenden] Pitch black with a thin-off white head. Oily mouthfeel. Flavour of smokey treacle mixed with cough mixture. Sour plum comes through, almost vinegary at times. Very odd.

Bottled at RBESG 2008. An unclear golden beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and strong notes of fruit among them peaches. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruits again peaches being strongest, as well as medium notes of malt and dusty hops, leading to a bitter finish.
