Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pale golden colour, thin white foam head and aroma of malt, fruit, currant. Taste is sweetish, malty, bread, with a hint of blackcurrant and fruity bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Taste comprises airy malts, citric tinged straw, melon, grass. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. Decent enough golde.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2023, day 2 - London. Pours slightly unclear gold with a frothy, white topping. Light to medium sweet flavour with nice lightly jammy citrus, subtly bitter straw, pale bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more citrus fruits, a little marmalade, bready pale malts. Easygoing and drinkable.
