Cask at North Bar, Leeds. Amber/orange pour, small cream-coloured head. Aroma is quite nice, with more citrus than toffee, which is nicely masked. Taste is dry and bitter, with some citrus and toffee - it’s nice but nothing special. Dry, bitter finish. Overall, this is a fairly good ale with interesting ideas, that is somewhat spoilt by the mouthfeel - the lack of carbonation helps the general nothing-iness of it makes it feel somewhat dead inside the mouth, making the ale seem a bit bland and lifeless. It’s a shame, I wanted to like this one.

Cask at North Bar. Orangey amber, small off-white head. Nose is slight citrus with a hint of toffee. Dry palate, reasonably strong citrus notes too. Good bitter finish. Bit bland but not bad at all.
