Cask @ The Old Bakehouse, Welshpool. Pours a generally clear gold, white head. Soft pillowy pale malt is the order of the day.. generally quite light, lacks bite but ok overall.

Half-pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024. Bubbles on the surface of a clear dark amber body. Stewed fruity aromas with earthy malts, promising. Biscuit, earth and slightly jam-like fruit to the taste profile. Malt-fruity ending with distant bitterness. Decent. (Manchester, 23.03.2024).

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a thin cream coloured head; fruity malt aroma; bready malt body with some purple fruit; then a touch of herbal bitterness before a sweet fruity finish. Not bad.

The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, yeasty, malt, herbal, earthy, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
