A half pint, served at a fin drinking temperature by hand pump at the Whitelocks pub in Leeds. Amber coloured body. Creamy white head, ring lacing to the glassware. Dried and fresh fruity smell. Malt-fruity taste with notes of red orange coming through. Smooth bitter ending. Oily texture. More than satisfying (12.07.2012).
