Amazingly hoppy and full flavoured golden ale with long lasting smooth, citrusy and refreshing overtones. A true real ale.

(Cask at Gallows Bird Real Ale Tribute to Shakespeare, 20160903) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had earth, sulphur, grass and honey. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, earth, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had straw, malts and bitterness. A bit weird brew but still nice.
