(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and grass. Fruity, hoppy taste with lemon, grapefruit, grass and a generous bitterness in the finish. Solid malt to balance. Medium body, some caramel sweetness. Nice and tasty.

Cask-conditioned at the Old Stillage, Bristol 29/08/09. Deep amber, with a moderate, tight white head. Aroma of orange fruit, spice and caramel malts. Flavour began with some toffee, apricots, followed by citrus hops. Hints of spice, earthiness and a big dry finish followed, with a hint of warmth. Alcohol was well hidden and avoided the syrupiness of many strong beers. Very enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Watershed Cafe, Bristol 31/3/09. Amber coloured with no head. Aroma was sweetish, with some caramel, a touch of honey and floral notes. Flavour had some mellow honey upfront, with a hint of malt roastiness and more floral stuff - whether this was from the honey or the hops I know not. Ending with a decent enough bitter finish, This was a drinkable beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Berkeley JDW, Bristol 28/12/08. Deep mahogany in colour with reddish hints and a foamy, off-white head that left lots of lacing down the glass. Aroma of caramel, milk chocolate, red fruits and vanilla. Flavour was also sweet, with a hint of roasty wood, spice and fruit, and a short bitter finish. A good winter beer.
