9.6Cask at the Grove... Copper.. Small white head... Soft sweet floral sherbet.. Clove cinnamon spice nose... Soft sweet floral fruit.. Big juicy fruit.. Zesty fruit...

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2016. Dark amber in colour. Bitter in character with a light lingering bittersweetness. Didn’t find too much of the pumpkin influence.
