Cask @ Record Cafe, Bradford. Clear golden ale with a small glow to it. Has a small head with a light citrus based fruitiness in aroma and taste - this is fused with a gentle maltiness.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Amber with a small creamy head. Certainly strong tasting, although not quite feeling its strength. There’s a mild tropical fruitiness behind the strength with a fruity-sweet nose.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear brown with a tan cream head. Simple toasty brown bread in the nose, some earth and leaves. Light sweet flavor, with mellow ash, tobacco, cocoa. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance in the finish, with a bit of chocolate, east, beat-up leather and dried fruits. Good one.
