Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 29th April 2026. Slightly hazy coppery amber with shallow, yellowy white foam and full lacing. Zesty peel, grasses and subtle pungent notes in aroma. Nutty malts, zesty citrus peel and fruitiness in-mouth. Fruity, zesty finish. Full body and a smooth yet engaging mouthfeel.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Murky dark gold beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Ripe stodgy malts, ripe creamy sweetness. Ripe hops, soft pine, some skunk. A little ripe citrus. Airy semi dry finish. Flaccid and ripe and a tough to drink affair.

On tap at The Green Goddess, Blackheath. Nose is apricot jam, orange marmalade, peach. Earthy bitter flavours. Malty bitter finish. This would definitely work better on cask.

Gravity Cask at day 2 of the 41st Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 03/12/2025.
Murky marmalade orange looker topped with an off white cap that veers to the edge ... not very WC looking!
Nose is orange peel, sweet edged, mandarin.
Taste comprises pineapple chunks, soft malts, sweet fruit syrup notes, orange peel.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with mellow juicy hop bitterness.
A touch sweet and flabby, not very WC like and not up to the usual output of this brewery.
