Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn at the International Brewing & Cider Festival, Manchester. Clear dark golden body, spotty lacing, tiny white head. Moderate aromas of citrus and grainy malts. Orange and grapefruit to the taste profile, zesty. Rounded fruity ending with a bitter twist. Nice. (Manchester, 22.03.2024).

Cask handpull at Shakespeare Head Holborn. Clear gold amber colour lasting cream head. Yep a decent pale ale. Some bitterness to it. Some ok pale malt character. Some citrus flavours. Good temperature and condition. Yep solid golden bitter or pale ale. Enough bitterness to keep you going back enough flavour to make it tasty.

Cask served a bit hote for my liking at The Justice Mill, Aberdeen. It pours clear amber with a sturdy white head. The aroma is muted malt driven aroma , grain, brown bread, earthy, biscuit, leafy, spice and some distant eggy fart. The is dry, bitter, toothy, chewy, malt driven, twiggy, brown bread, malt loaf, fatty, rivita and some distant egginess with a dry, grainy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not a lot to enjoy here tbh.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading,] An amber pour with a loose white head; candied malty aroma; dry biscuity malt taste to start, then sweeter; with a drier finish with a light floral bitterness. Rather odd.
