Cask at GBBF’17, day three, 10/08/17. Pale blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is stewed fruits, grains, straw, bready notes, fruit loaf. Taste comprises more breads, yeast sweat, lemon rind, caramel, light spice, syrup, herb. Medium plus body, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with a boozy wash. Perhaps not in the best nick but delivers little in terms of flavor for it's ABV.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Light haze on this yellow - gold beer, a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Toffeeish malts overlaid with a lot of spicy floralness. Lemony citrus. Banana esters. Dry spicy finish. Yeah not bad - but it doesn’t say Khaleesi to me. She would be bright wine barrel aged saison or IPA in my world.
