Handpull cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Amber/gold, with a thick white head and good lacing. Malty aroma, toast with biscuit spread and orange peel make a cautious appearance. Sweet malty taste, but itโs got a bit of a sour backwash. Weird sour woody-malty finish. Not as sold on this one but itโs passable and has some genuinely nice qualities. Just unbalanced.

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge on 14th September 2016. Hazy amber with virtually no head or lacing. A pungent aroma with spiciness. Bittersweet in-mouth. Fruity finish with caramel malts. A hint of โcolaโ flavour, interesting, but detracts from the overall taste. Medium-bodied with a lightish mouthfeel.

Handpull cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Mahogany, clear with creamy off-white head. Chocolate malt and dark berries in the aroma. Simple sweet malty taste, and none the worse for it. Thereโs some earthy hop bitterness in the finish, which leads to some unbalanced sourness in the aftertaste. All in all a very good basic malt bomb.
