Draft as Devil’s Backbone Azreal. Poured a hazy golden color with a tiny white head. Aroma was mellow fruit notes, with a touch of spice. Flavor was, well - a bit on the bland side, but the beer may have simply been too cold. Notes of candi sugar and spices began to came out.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. It’s sweet strawberry beer. Deep red. Yes, it’s fine, yes a bit of hop. Irish ale? No, don’t think so. Fruit led ESB.
