Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. A warm golden body, tiny white head, dotted spots on the glass. Tropical fruity aromas, with a floral scent, promising. Peaches and lemony hops to the taste profile followed by a distant fruity bitter finish. Decent thirst quencher.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a clear dark gold to amber colour, small white head, little retention. Aroma of damp cardboard, some biscuit and floral hop. Taste of biscuit and citrus with a bitter and spicy finish. There is still a cardboard staleness to it though. Near medium bodied, oily. Poor malt profile, decent crisp bite and spice in the hop finish.
