Clear amber, white head. Light bitter aroma but not much. Taste is hoppy, slightly citrusy, some bitterness from that and a touch of malt. Not much to it. Bit watery. Meh.

Gravity cask at the Birmingham CAMRA Beer Festival 2015. Poured a clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is light skunky malt. The flavour is light bitter with a smooth sweet malt, light resin palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

Golden bitter which is lacking in a head. It makes up for this with some tasty malts that have a slight biscuit flavour making is slightly spicy in the palate, but not much. Aroma is light malts.

50cl bottle, thanks David. BB 28-06-2013. Lot#2172. Ambrée, col fin beige blanc. Arôme est malté et fleuri, type malt le tout laissant un léger fleuri houblonne, et un bouquet typique anglais. Palais est fleuri et agréablement amer tenant aussi des notes de citronnelle. Palais reste sec et amer, bien fruité restant typique pour ce style on en peut plus anglais. Sur la fin, on retrouve un profil malté grillé et caramel tirant légèrement sur la noisette typique de Maris Otter. Reste léger, facile à boire.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear deep amber. Fruity hay aroma. Mid dry, light bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Ripe fruits, slight notes of caramel. Mid bitter finish. Not as great as on cask.
