Cask at GBBF'19 Day 3, 08/08/19. Lightly hazed golden amber with an off white cap that clears edgeward. Nose is chilli pepper, sweet malt base, melon, grains. Taste comprises green pepper, grass, chilli heat, toasted grains, spice, watermelon. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Fine for what it is I guess.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Hazy gold beer, a few white bubbles. Light and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Any watermelon is quickly overwhelmed by the overdone chilli. Light dry finish. Bah!

8/8/2019. Cask at the 2019 Great British Beer Festival. Pours pale gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of mashed watermelon, light citrus and flowers. Moderate sweetness and a good dose of habanero chilli heat. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Not undrinkable but not one I'd go back to for more.
