Fra cask på GBBF aug-23, delt med Steven: klar løys gylden med utmerket skum helt ned. Lett krydret aroma og smak med gress/høy, engelsk appelsinmarmelade, muligens et par stikkelsbær og noen skogaktige toner. Mild bitterhet, og fruktig avslutning med mersmak.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2017, day one - London. Pours clear yellow with a light, creamy white head. The nose holds mild grass, pale bread, citrus, butter. Lightly sweet with notes of biscuits, strong grass, more butter. Light bodied with fine, soft carbonation. Grainy finish, mellow butter, more grass. Eh, not great.

Bottle from shop in eastbourne. Well to bse honest i really like this. It is smooth and very light but does the 3.8% proud. The smell is a little lagery and the taste is a mix of hay, cardboard, some metal. Better felt than rated.
