Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Copper with white head. Initially a sweetish malty bitter, but then a bright, grassy, hoppy flavour, cannabis resin in character shows through. The deeper roasted body with light hop make this quite pleasant.

4.1% light amber colour with a good head, citrus hop aroma and citrus hop taste.

Harrogate - Wetherspoons - Dark amber with a lasting thick frothy white head. Smells of butter fruit and malt but it’s very faint. Medium thin body with flat carbonation. Taste of ripe fruit, caramel, and roast malt, Bitter with a sweet fruit finish. Not bad. I nursed it a little

Cask at The Winter Gardens, Harrogate. Pours a deep amber-brown with a small lasting frothy off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma’s mild, quite mild actually -- it’s malty along with a hint of nuts and light hops. Flavour’s malty along with light hops, some toasty notes, nuts and a decent bitter finish. Slightly creamy mouthfeel, average bodied. Pretty good.
