Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 2/7/2012. Deep gold with a trace of white head. Pineapple and grapefruit aromas with some sweetness. Full mouth feel, with more fruit and some slightly spicy malts coating the back of the throat, and leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Thanks to Adam for buying me a half pint of this one from cask at Guildford Arms. Copper-gold body, faint head, fair lacing. Malt-fruity nose. Toasted malts and herbal hoppy taste. Nice bitter roundup. Slightly thin on the swallow (Edinburgh, 14.04.2012).
