Cask,gravity at Redditch Beer Festival,Worcestershire.Ruby brown pour with decent sized lasting white head.Fruity aroma of blackcurrant.Taste has blackcurrant very much in evidence and a nice hoppiness.Nice dry finish making an easy drinking and tasty beer.

Cask conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Charlbury, Oxon. Copper to brown with white head. I had quite tobacco blast right at the start of this beer, not smokey, but dried tobacco leaf. The fruity note emerges, blackcurrant but blissfully not too sweet, a little tart in fact. Quite hoppy, dry and bitter, reasonable beer.
