Deeper golden colour as beer number 24 at the Bradford Beer Festival 2025. Easy session brew, it's Amarillo hop providing its distinctive fruit, exotic flavour with mango very evident.

Waiting Room, Whitby Railway Station. Half-pint, hand-pulled, end of barrel. Slight haze to the amber body, white head. Bitter and a little sour (should have taken it back, but it might always have a vinegar like taste?).

York Beer Festival 2024. Very dark. Lightly cherried stout, the flavour takes some time to come through - nothing Belgian-like though, just a mix of dark malts and fruit.

Cask at the Bath Hotel, Sheffield. Pours black with a thick, creamy beige. Aromas of chocolate and cherry, as expected. Taste more of the same. Does what it says on the tin, and isn't a novelty beer. Creamy texture, clean finish.

Skipton Beer Festival 2024. Not particularly a typical Kölsch in this instance - hoppy, dryish, very much cask conditioned, but regardless of being misrepresented it's a nice lightly hoppy brew.

York Beer Festival 2023. Dark clear golden in appearance. Sweet malts and mild caramels make this quintessentially seasonal taste much more fuller than it is.
