GBBF Day 1. Cask. Clear gold beer, bubbly white head. Palate is smooth and dry, modest fine carbonation. Dry malts, some sweetness. Cloves and cinnamon dominate, a little fruity citrus underneath, Little orange peel. Light dry finish. Drinkable for a spiced beer, still couldn’t drink much though!

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2017. Pours pale gold with a lasting bubbly white head. Aroma is dominated by stem ginger. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Light body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. As ginger infused beers go, this is one of the better ones.
