Amber, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of soft orange, soft sweet fruity malts, mellow nose
Taste more bitter than expected from aroma, soft cereals, sweet caramel malts, mainly just bitter hops, dab of citrus fruit
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, quite oily, sweet soft caramel, fairly bitter. Finish as main flavour, lingering bitter
Overall - Rather average - I don’t think the filtering has done this much good. Found it a bit dull. Would probably be better on cask.

Taste of caramel, toffee malts, very soft bitter hops, a touch nutty, brown sugar

500ml bottle: poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 15th Nov 2014 during my Pre-Christmas Christmas Beer tasting evening. Deep ruby body, clear and bright, on top a thin off-white covering and collar. Malty front in the nose with a strange spicy trace with treacle undertones. The taste was really spice led, again with malty molasses/treacle as a base like the aroma. The beer also had a Dandelion and Burdock sort of flavour. Different and interesting.

Taste of light malts, mellow spicy, hint of ginger, aromatic spices, lemon, coriander, soft fruits, dab of creamy wheat

Cask: half-pint at The Cottage Loaf, Llandudno on 11th June 2014. The beer poured slightly hazy pale gold with a full white crown that gave off lacing. Fairly light flavoured with a mini malt lead in both the aroma and taste. Semi-sweet with so hop background noise, but I could call it subtle or bland: I’ll be kind and say it has subtle notes that produce a refreshing summer brew ideal for a sunny day.

Cask, hand-pulled half pint on the sun terrace of Cottage Loaf, Llandudno on 11th June 2014, one of two tatton beers on offer. No haze to my Lazy half, pale gold body with a full white crown that gave lacing. Hints of honey and tea (the pumpclip mentioned tea) in both the aroma and taste. Refreshing enough but not really ’my cup of tea’: didn’t stop me having a half of their Blonde though.
