(Cask at Lion Tavern, Liverpool, 20 July 2009) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, orange and dusty hops. A touch of smoke? Fruity taste with notes of peaches, orange and hints of dusty hops in the finish. Medium body. Not overly exciting, but ok.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern, on Friday 5th June 2009. Reddish-brown, crystal clear with an initially fizzy off-white head. Biscuit aroma with some notes of floral hop and clove spice. Slight nuttiness in the kick in which the aforesaid biscuit and clove notes are brought to the tongue; slightly creamy - yet easy drinking mouthfeel. I found the beer to be very pleasant and flavoursome, and with red ales not tending to be my favourites, I was impressed.
