Cask, half pint at JDWs Manchester & County. Tiny layer leaving spotty lacing behind. Clear amber coloured body. Resin-like aroma. Malt-fruity taste with peaches, marmalade, caramel and distant notes of honey. Fine bittersweet finish. Quite well bodied. A good one after the long journey from Tromsø to Manchester, 21.01.2013.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. Pours clear brown with a light, bubbly head. Faint dark fruits and light, tangy malts in the aroma. Light sweet flavor, tangy, toasty, and faintly roasty. (Wow, how about that little turn of phrase?) Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild finish, slightly bland, some tangy dark malts. Kind of left me hanging on some fronts but not altogether bad.
