Handpull cask at Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Light yellow/gold and hazy with a tight white head. Big melon notes, some icing sugar, white grapefruit rind. Tastes sweet and herbal with an intense shot of dill, this fades quickly to reveal a gentle fruity bitterness which is increasingly prominent up to the long finish. More melon and a little resurgence of the dill in the aftertaste. Smooth holy, soft carbonation. Weird but somehow delicious. One of those beers that grows on me.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Hazy yellow-gold with a small head. It’s a citrus based brew but inoffensively so with a gentle citric-smooth tasting fruitiness.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Roast malts and a general nuttiness in the aroma. Pretty similar in the mouth, a creamy texture with flavours of roast malts, burnt toast and oatmeal – plus some traces of vanilla. Finish is slightly sweet. Quite nice.
