Cask gravity at GBBF 2015 day 2. Nice bright yellow golden coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Nice looking beer. Aroma is nice juicy citrus fruits, light lemon and pine, faint straw. Flavour is composed of little sticky hop, pone and citrus, little straw, firm grassy mellow bitterness. Palate is moderate sticky, airy carbonation. Really good condition.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, juicy, perfumed, orange, peach, honeysuckle and dough. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, oily, peach, apricot, creamy, white bread, pepper, light boost and orange blossom with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Quite nice.
