Cask at the NWAF, Derby, ’14. Reddish brown pour with a beige head. Aromas of orchard fruit and some poorly scrawled reference that looks like ’deer mirt’.. well there’s a first.... I really must step into the modern world and purchase one of those flashy phone thingys.... anyway back on track.... flavours of toffee and orchard fruit. Quite dry. Not bad.

Cask at NWAF, Derby, ’14. Pale gold pour with a white head. Sweet fruit aroma. Nice fruit action in the flavour- lots of apricot, pear and kiwi. Nice and refreshing.

Cask @ NWAF ’14, Derby. Aroma of lemon and cedar; slight salt. Taste is bittersweet and slightly soapy. More a strong golden than an IPA. Not particularly impressive, these beers are a dime a dozen.
