COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Winter.
First brewed in October 2006, this was a creation by Head Brewer Richard Hough. The recipe includes English hops and the addition of dried fruit in the boil. The aim to produce a beer chock full of autumn fruit flavours. The pumpclip is one for the pagans among you. It is based on the Tarot card The Empress. If you don't get the connection go look it up. At Christmastime we introduced a festive version with some wonderful spicing. This was distinguished by the snow on the pumpclip.

StueyD (660) - Heacham, King’s Lynn, - JAN 16, 2007
A mid orange to yellow coloured beer with a weak white head. A light, but distinct, spicy aroma, cinnamon and candied peel, very Christmas pudding -like. The taste follows this, dry and hoppy in flavour, accompanied by the spices and a slightly sweet fruit flavour, leading to a dry finish. Interesting! (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).
