Creamy white head stayed on a hazy, still, dark amber body. Malt aroma with hints of pine. Thin on the palate, sharp & clean. Very mild flavours of pine, outdoors, malt, citrus & a general bitterness on the back. Not much to say about this but it’s very solid.

Keg at The Hanging Bat, and cask at The Stockbridge Tap (six years later). Hazy amber body with a thin white head. Good lacing. Aroma of orange, earth and honey. Flavour of orange pith, wood and sparkling water. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Good flavour for the strength. Better on cask than keg.
