Cask at the Pineapple, Kentish Town on 26th November 2024. Clear copper with dense creamy white foam and scant lacing. Caramel malt aroma with berry fruits. Spicy fruit-mouth with a nutty kick, before a finish of maltiness and the odd leafy hop. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Cask stillage at The Catford Bridge Tavern Beer Festival. Lightly hazed orange pour no head. Apricot jam, orange marmalade & peach aromas. Similar approach in the flavour. Malty sweet & lightly bitter. Approaching the bottom of the barrel methinks 🤔.
