Bottled, from random supermarket. Cloudy pale golden, mid sized head. Pineapple and lemon up front. Mid dry with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity firm crisp bready malt, some pineapple and an unfortunate touch of lemon. Mid bitter finish. A good base beer with an infection. Cannot find any date stamp.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber-brown with a cream head and a light fizz. A little watery. Spicy and dry, there's definite toffee with some blackcurrant and booze. Possibly some citrus in there too. A little ragged round the edges but comes together reasonably well by the end. It's ok, and I'm always happy to get another Norn rate!

Third of a pint in my local Wetherspoon pub on 17th March 2018 St Patrick's Day. Red hue to the brown/amber body, beige head with lacing. Rye esters dominated the nose and taste for me, some bitterness towards the finish with a mini citrus feel.
