Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin long lasting off white head. The aroma is unsurprisingly chocolate and orange. The flavour is moderate sweet with a big rich smooth chocolate orange, light spicy hop, light alcohol liqourice bitter palate. This really is like drinking a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Awesome!

On tap at the Prince of Wales, Farnborough, 26/05/16. A honey coloured beer, but slightly put off by the mouldy aroma. Initially has a citrus flavour, but that gives way to a not entirely pleasant after taste, which also hung around my tongue and gums. Not a great saison.

Cask @ New Brew-m, Burnley. Golden and light textured, with a creamy head. Has a good malt-hop balance, without much character, but is a good session ale. There’s hints of fruit throughout and a mild sweetness in its taste, and a berry one in its nose.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Tucker’s Maltings Beer Festival, 15/4/2016. Golden in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Aroma of lemons, hay and lager hops. Flavour of cereal malts and more lemon fruit, leading to a decent, bitter,finish. Good.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Clear gold with a thick white head. Caramel and vanilla at first with growing apple skin and honey and a touch of lemon. However the apple and lemon are very light meaning that it’s on the sweet side, although somehow not too sweet. Good body. Pleasant spring beer, just needs a little more oomph.
