Malt and a hint of fruit on the nose, pours a deep amber with an off-white foamy head. Bitter fruit taste with some floral hop character, the carbonation gives some effervescence which is couple with a slightly oily mouthfeel, finishes off with a bitter aftertaste

Aroma of slightly bitter orange marmalade, pours a deep gold with a foamy white head which dissipated relatively quickly. The initial bitter taste is balanced with sweet malt and zesty fruit, the carbonation offers some bite and the aftertaste is slightly bitter with some malt

Cask at Artichoke, Chester Pours a golden yellow with a generous white head. Nose is vaguely citrus – maybe tangerine ? In the mouth the taste is oranges contrasting biscuits and malts. Finish is reminiscent of marmalade. Not a beer to arouse strong feelings – it happens

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Bubbly surface, scattered lacing, coal black body. Smell of toffee, hints of smoked meat. Mixed taste character including caramel, chocolate and biscuit. Moments of smoke to a mid-sweet malt-driven end. Like it. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a copper brown with a good cream head. Nose is a distinctive mixture of marzipan and marmalade. Inh the mouth, well some oranges at the start, but then the hops kick in in a big way. Very bitter indeed. Still some fruit at the edges if you search for it. Finish is very hoppy and fruity. This is what a proper IPA should be like. Easy drinking as well.

Wood Cask version of this collaboration brew at the Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Black-brown with fuller-bodied and slightly washy roasted malts, although not unexpectedly so. Some alcohol is evident through its barrel-ageing. Has a better roasted aroma than taste.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber with an extremely thin head. Wood and wine are prevalent - the grape influence certainly in taste, as is the barrel ageing. Its aroma is a little more regular, with hint of fruity sweetness. A tad sticky in texture.
