Bottle from Purely Cornish, Looe. Quite active out of the bottle, it's dark amber with a carbonation and a very thin head. It's strength hits you immediately, but it's not overly sweet for its high value, but obviously there's some sweetness to it. Fruit as well, a hint of citrus, some sourness, fairly tangy, and good for a winter night.

330ml bottle picked up at Tuckers Maltings in Newton Abbot earlier this year. Shared with Finn and djoeye. A bubbly, low, beige head to a clear copper coloured body. Minimal lacing. Dried fruity nose, moments of herbs and leather. Sweet taste of berries and ripe citrus. sweet malt-fruity ending with warmth from the alcohol. Heavy drinking, slow sipper. Rather sweet in the long run. (Tromsø 01.08.2017).

Draft at The Pigs Ear. Muddy amber pour, scant bubbly head. Mild malty aroma, some fruit notes, which seem out of place. Taste continues with more of the malt, all very soft and muted. Mild bitterness shows up way in the back, at the finish.
