Keg at the Head Of Steam, Durham, 14/05/2025.
Raspberry red with a crimson cap that retains well.
Nose is tangy berries, herb, sugars, lactic tang.
Taste comprises berry pips, vanilla, rhubarb stalk, herb, straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering edge.
Fun enough ... not sure its much of a pale ale mind!

Cask at the Micro Bus, Gateshead, 14/05/2025.
Murky chestnut brown topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is stewed fruits, toffee, figs, light sweet tones.
Taste comprises fruit loaf, caramel, perfume, biscuit, dates, prunes.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent enough flavoursome mild but I expected a little more ... perhaps past its best condition wise.
