On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Hazy reddy brown body, thick white head. Nose is biscuits and caramel, with a maltiness overpowering everything else. Taste is slightly bitter and tart citrus, again caramel, burnt sugar and that malt taking over everything. Nothing special.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Paler golden in colour with a creamy head. Has both a lemon citrus aroma and taste, not overbearing and fairly pleasant. The aroma feels active in the nostril!

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Dark ruby body, thin white head. Light toasted nose, bit of fruity malts and berries. Taste is a bit thin, like the mouthfeel, but not too bad nonetheless.

Bottle @ Hanuman, Todmorden. Available in the 3 Wise Monkeys bar too, which is included as part of the label. Golden with a small creamy head and a small carbonation. There’s spice in the aroma but it’s much more apparent in its taste. A good accompaniment for the food with its heavy ginger flavour, maybe less so on its own.

Cask at The Percy Shaw JDW, Halifax. Pours clear golden amber, thick white head. Citrus aromas dominate, but lighter than expected. Taste is bitter, caramel sweet backbone though. Nice.

Clear deep amber beer, small off white head. Palate is smooth, turning minerally crisp. Smooth malt, whisper of toffee. Brief burst of floralness leads to orangey citrus. Touch of marmalade, then fairly robust bitterness which hangs about long after the smooth finish. Bitter bastard! Tasty!
