On cask at Cloisters. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Very slight haze. Nose - oranges and nettles. Peaches. Taste - more of the same. Dry pithy finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - usual great balance from Swannay.

Cask at Guildford Arms. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The nose is toasty grain, cereal, honey, golden syrup and soapy citrus. The taste is bitter - sweet, honeyed cereal, candied grain, jammy fruits, sweet porridge, Heather honey and a touch of soapy citrus with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Sweeter and maltier than I had hoped for, but overall it’s drinkable enough.
