On tap @ The Haymarket Bar. Pours amber with a decent head. The nose has some grapey notes against a malt background. The taste is more intermelded grapes and malt with maybe an appley bitterness on the finish. Medium bodied and with a creamy tangy texture and some refreshment but couldn’t drink too many.

Draft from The Lescar, Sheffield. On draft it pours with a light tan thick head over a deep ruby brown body. Aroma wise its malty, fruity with a hint or caramel and chocolate. It tastes a lot lighter than it looks with toffe passing to malts and then cirtus with a slightly bittre finish. I was pleasenty surprised to find this in Sheffield. Bristol Beer factory tend to produce good qualiyt beers and this did not disappoint.
