Keg draught at the Sheffield Tap. Pouring at 3.8%. Light golden colour with a little bit of haze and a full white head. A big rhubarb aroma from the beer, some bready notes. Sweet taste, so reminiscent of rhubarb Crumble.an they nailed it. Falls apart a little in the finish with a less balanced finish. Watery body, carbonation just on the heavy side. It's more clever than it is good, but boy is it clever.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Light haze on this gold beer, no head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Rhubarb and custard sweets. Bitterish and slightly spicy undertone. Light finish. Amusing.

I got marshmallow from this but everybody with me said rhubarb which I only faintly picked up. Regardless, without being special it's a bit distinctive and at the strength very drinkable.
