Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol December 2023. Copper in colour, with a slight, white, head. Red berry fruit, a touch of caramel, leafy hops, some spice from the rye and a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Can @ Crossed Peels, Stirling. Golden with a haze and a thick frothy head. Despite pilsner being in its notes this is a hoppy brew that very much feels like an modern ale, and orange fruit dominates its taste, so there's little of that to find here. It's very flavoursome too with a light sweetness about proceedings.

Can. Appearance - golden yellow and almost clear. White head. Nose - mainly orange and orange zest. A touch soapy at the back. Taste - more soapy orange, but still some zest. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy middle and zesty finish. Overall - quite nice and very easy drinking.

Fra cask på The Compass Inn, Tormarton, sammen med Steven: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. God maltsmak med urter, barskog og hint av nøtter. En behagelig standard bitter med fin bitterhet i avslutningen, og en hyggelig pitstop på veien tilbake til London.
