Cask at the Pint Shop, Cambridge on 14th September 2016. Clear copper with a thin, off-white foam and full lacing. Leafy, pungent aromas. Sweet caramel malt and burst of fruitiness in-mouth. Fruitiness morphs to sugary sweetness with a bitter touch in the the upper rear mouth during the finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. If you are in the mood for a sweet beer, this is quite pleasant drinking.

Cask at the Black Horse, Thorndon, Suffolk. Pours a clear amber brown with a small white head. Aroma of mild hop, light caramel, and light tropical fruit. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, just a touch sour. Light body, quite thin texture, soft carbonation. Even appreciating this as low ABV bitter, there was little to it.
