Cask at the herriot watt beer festival 2018... Dark amber... Thin white lacing.. Soft sweet oily toffee fruit nose... Soft sweet caramel toffee fruit.. Soft sweet malts.. Oily fruits
Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark gold, mostly clear with a small foamy layer of white head and lots of lacing. Light grainy aroma, not getting a lot of the promised tropical fruit. Taste is improved, with a bitter citrus character. Strong hop bitterness in the finish. It's fairly average unfortunately.
8th August 2017 GBBF Day 1. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Dry dark malts, tangy and unsweet dark chocolate. Ripe orange peel. Bitter orange and dried fruits. Dry malt cream. Drey finish. Bitter linger. Quite a bitter mild all told!
