Golden coloured quite a rich feel and very strong in alcohol. Some fruitiness and a warming finish. Listed in the festival program as 11.5% ABV
2. Sampled a month later at Wilkie’s Tavern, Warrington 17/04/2003 with the same results as above and a very reasonable £2 a pint!
3. Cask Handpump at the Marble Arch Inn, Manchester 20/01/2007
Fruity very strong aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and very strong in alcohol. Some citrus flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

(180108) harrisoni (5331), Ashford, Kent, England Feb 26, 2008 Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Smells of homemade peach wine. Like peach flavoured turps. Bit of plastic on aroma. Doesn’t taste of 11%, but it’s just too acidic. Aroma has good fruit, but no great body. It’s like my dad’s homemade peach wine.
