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.
