Cask at GBBF 25. Slightly opaque copper gold. Frothy foamy translucent white head. Aroma has sugary fruity sweetness with a nettle bitterness and resin. Flavourwise it's similar. Peppery. Slightly underlying veg soup. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Taster at brewery. Golden pour, light cloudiness, thin head, solid lacing. Sweet, grainy aroma with fruity notes. Taste is well balanced malt and hops, bready, crisp, snappy, smooth. Hoppy finish with some nice piney citrus notes.
