50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Bottle conditioned - the first time I’ve seen a bottled version from this series. A crystal-clear pale straw colour with a billowing white head and moderate carbonation; light grapefruit aroma; big fruity taste, predominately grapefruit; but with some woody notes; and a long dry bitter finish with some fresh nettley herbs. Very enjoyable - it seems the bottling has helped develop the taste.

Cask at the William Robert Loosley (JDW), High Wycombe. Pale yellow with a negligible head and a slight fizz. A bit thin. Caramelly vanilla-y diacetyl doesn’t go with the too-bitter piney hops. Grass and a little citrus come through eventually but I can’t actually say I enjoyed this. Disappointing stuff from a brewer that I normally regard as decent.
