Cask at the Sportsman Inn, Carlisle. It pours clear deep red - amber with a thick, fluffy off - white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, jam on toasted brown bread, dried berries & fruits, fruit cake, brown bread and black tea. The taste is firmly dry, touch of tartness, dominated by dried fruits and berries, nutty, bitter - sweet, toasted fruit loaf, light tannin and some ryvita. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice condition. Has some pleasant nuances to it. Not too shabby.

50cl bottle from Beer Ambleside.
Appearance - golden and clear with steady carbonation and a neat white head. Looks like lager!
Nose - Shredded Wheat, wholemeal biscuits, maybe some citrus.
Taste - more Shredded Wheat and lemon. Biscuit backdrop.
Palate - light bodied, dry refreshing finish.
Overall - decent given obvious lack of alcohol.
