Chelmsfaaarhd Winter Beer Fest. Cask in KEGS. Hazy deep amber - red beer, small pale tan head. Smooth light palate, still has decent fine carbonation. Thin dry malts, some bitterish tangy caramel. Ripe fruits. Spicy floral bitterness. Thin dry finish leaves a citric peel linger. Clean but pretty bitter.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet Easter BF 2016. Clear russet colour lasting beige head. It’s a little earthy sime red fruit. Redcurrant and raspberry flavour a little sourness. Its an interesting mix of flavours. Sweet and sour. Ok red jammy fruit. Dry. Odd.
