Cask at The Colmore, Birmingham. Dark brown with a beige head. Roasty, somewhat sweet, hint of chocolate. Slick, easy drinking but just felt a bit thin in flavour.

York Beer Festival 2024. Golden coloured brew. Lots of strength to a hoppy character. Good but certainly nothing sessionable here!!!

Handpull cask at the Fossgate Tap, York. Light golden and clear with a full white head which leaves generous lacing. Light lemon aroma, hay, marmalade. Tastes a lot worse: one of those buttery goldens I thought we'd left behind us in 2016. Grainy and hay-y in the finish. Light body with fairly soft carbonation.
