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 @ 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.
