Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol, 3 October 2022. Deep gold in colour, with a moderately-sized, white, head. Apricot and tangerine fruit, a touch of floral hops, sweet, rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Fine.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] An interesting coloured pint, seemingly a deep, almost opaque reddish brown, but a bright golden barley when held to the light; soft vegetal aroma; rather thin in the mouth, but with a buttery, biscuity malt taste; then a dry finish with a light bitterness and some lingering buttered toast. An excellent old-fashioned bitter.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Opalescent, brass colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, white head. Condensed, resinous, bitter hoppy and pale malty aroma, notes of almond and light, jelly bear-like hints of mandarine and pineapple, very light overtones of cardboard, rubber, liquorice. Taste is sweet-ish, pale malty and condensed, bitter, resinous hoppy, minimally piney and fruity, some mandarine and pineapple with a jelly bear touch; well hidden alcohol. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation. More condensed than intense, accordingly rather homogenous and relatively monotonous - not that thrilling as measured by abv.
