500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers & Merry Christmas, Graham!]. Opaque, chestnut colour with average, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy aroma, notes of red berries, melon, lychee, a touch of peach flavoured ice tea, caramel malty background. Taste is slightly dry, fruity hoppy, minimally sugary, caramel malty, hints of melon, lychee, a touch of red berries; minimally leafy finish with a touch of black tea, slightly overcarbonated. Not bad.

Half-pint, cask at The Savoy (JDW). Shared with Finn. Deep copper brown body, low off-white head that laced quite well. Moderate aromas of stewed fruits. Grassy hops and bite of marmalade to the taste buds. Bittersweet endnotes. Fair enough. (Swindon 26.10.2019).
