Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden. Aroma I'd fruity, slightly acidic. Metallic edge. Clear gold. No head. Medium bitter. Grainy. Metallic. Strawberry element provides sweetness and some sourness but is not intrusive. Light. Thin if slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Alight. Fruity lager. Nuff said.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 16th November 2024. Almost impenetrably black with shallow tan foam and spot lacing. Sweet roast malt aroma. Treacle in-mouth with dirty smokiness. A finish of both, with the sweet treacle and toffee fading first. Full bodies with a smooth mouthfeel.

10/10/2024. Cask at Nottingham Beer & Cider Festival 2024. Pours very dark brown with a small lasting frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, chocolate, dark fruits, prune, plastic, resin, rye cracker. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Oily watery, average to soft carbonation. A little curious but not bad.

Cask at Bedford CAMRA Beer & Cider Festival 2024. Pours mildly hazed orange gold with minimal white foam. Supposedly a peat smoked pilsner. The smoke is MIA. All I'm getting is a fruity-ish pale ale. Towards moderate sweet & light bitter. Medium body with minimal carbonation. Poor.
