GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear pale gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Dry but punchy watermelon and a touch of Galia melon. Finishes with a curious bitter melon vibe. Interesting, think this would have been better on Key Keg.

Cask handpull at GBBF 2018. Part of the Planet Rock series. Very pale gold colour lasting white head. Slightly Farty aroma. Bit of honey dew melon. Bit perfumed. Not for me. Smooth in mouth.
