Bottle courtesy of Totnes. The person not the place. Pale to medium gold. Light haze. Fine sticky white foam. Nose has fruity flowery hop. Bit of a tang. Clean dry malt. Taste is initially sweet and fruity with a moderate tangy bitterness. Good body with a bit of sticky. Fine crisp carbonation. Tangy bitterness to finish. Nice golde with decent punch.

Cask at the Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading. A pale amber pour with a loose cream head; indistinct fruity aroma; sour fruity taste; and a fruity caramel finish. Rather innocuous.
