Cask at The Anchor, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark chestnut brown with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma is hugely fruity. The flavour is medium bitter, rich, with red berries and some dry spicy hoppiness on the palate. A real winter warmer if I ever tasted one. It has bags of complex flavours and really deserves a top rating.

Hazy orange beer, tidy off white head. Very nice nose of orange cream. Light palate, soft and semi dry. Water chesnuts and a pleasant dash of citrus. Mild seltzer minerals. Finish is semi dry and soapy. Infected but not a complete disaster!
