500ml bottle shared with Ashton McCobb, cheers Ash! Pours clear amber, short-lived off-white head. Aromas of cake mix, spice, dried orange peel. Taste is more orange, light spice. Medium body, creamy texture, sweet spicy finish. Good.

50cl bottle from the Black Bull. Appearance - amber with a decent head which hangs around. Nose - cake mixture and a hint of spice. Taste - tangy dried orange and generally fruit cake. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - very enjoyable. Extra complexity seems to develop down the glass.

50cl bottle from Black Bull. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - initially a lemon yoghurt thing then green plant note and lemon following it through. Taste - orange to pineapple, some green vegetation again. Palate - medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - a bit in between styles, some parts are golden ale, some are approaching the character of an Abbey Tripel.

Bottle from the Black Bull. Appearance - copper orange with a nice lacy head. Nose - faintly orangey and a bit grainy. Taste - orange spicy biscuit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry zingy finish. Overall - a bit more malty than a typical blonde but good.
