Cask at the brewery, 6/11/16.
Bright orange with a brass/bronze tint and a white head atop showing moderate retention.
Citrus and black pepper in the nose are joined by light cereals and baguette/biscuit-like breadiness for balance. Clean and bright with no heavy specialty malt dominance and no off-notes from the cask.
Sweet marmalade and soft black pepper give a moderate but still restrained hop character to the beer while vanilla, honey and biscuit provide ample body. Tight carbonation keeps it very drinkable and the natural wateriness of the cask continues to keep it going down easily. No alcohol or flaw. Nice, bright, dry stuff with a malty texture.
