Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a hazy dark chestnut with a small off-white head. There’s malts and caramel in the aroma, plus some autumn fruits. In the mouth it is rich and fruity with a creamy texture. Flavour has raspberries and mushy apples at the start but later there are traces of traditional hops and ginger as well, leading to a slightly dry and fruity finish. This is quite nice and very drinkable.

31/5/2024. From cask at the 37th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival. Pours clear dark gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet peach, with a touch of malt and caramel. Quite sweet with light to moderate developing bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery, soft carbonation. Very peachy, quite one dimensional, more than a splash of each in this I'd say but it's okay.
