Cask @ Strawberry Garden, Fleetwood. Golden with a creamy head. Hoppy-fruity session, perhaps feeling a little fuller than its strength might suggest. Pump clip was Great Corby Tizzie Whizie.

Cask @ Poulton Elk, Poulton-le-Fylde. Near black with a light-brown creamy head. Has a lovely smooth texture with a pleasing amount of density to it - feels good in the palate. Slightly floral-roasted in aroma, it's more of a stated roasted malt stout in taste.
