Clear pale gold with a bubbly/frothy white head and a wispy fruity nose. Light bodied with a mandarin orange flavour on top of light biscuit malt, some floral bitterness and a dry finish. Slightly weird if I’m honest!

Cask at Henry Potts, Chester. Pours a dark chestnut a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – vague hints of malts and caramel is the lot. In the mouth it is quite watery with a slight bitterness, and flavours of nuts and malts. After a while some autumn fruits and cloves come through as well leading to a slightly dry finish. It’s ok, but rather bland to say the least – I struggled to finish it.
