Bradford Beer Festival 2020 and at the Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Was slightly better at the latter. Near black with a good enough roasted flavour for its too obvious weak strength.

Cask, third at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast. Shared with Finn. Unclear golden body, patchy surface, poor lacing. Moderate smell of orange. Mid-sweet orange flavours. Mid-dry end, hints of orange shells. Easy to drink. Satisfying. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).
