Bottle. A lightly unclear dark golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma is lightly oxidzed, with caramel, some dried fruits and peaches. It’s medium to full-bodied with a soft carbonation. Caramel, oxidation, dried fruits and some herbal bitterness. Some generic fruityness too, lasting for a while. Pretty nice this one, but nothing extraordinary going on. 140815

Cask @ Pen-y-Bryn, Colwyn Bay. Copper with a thin head. Has a light malty aroma and taste - palatable and certainly a session ale. There’s also a small sweetness running throughout its character.

On tap at The Wellington, pours a clear pale golden with a small beige head. Nose is light and subtle, with English hops and light crackery malt. Flavour is very hop-forward, with English hops and crackery malt in the back. Well-balanced and with more character than the average English session ale. Very solid stuff.
