Bottles from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of Rich Tea biscuit, rhubarb and green tea. Flavour of lemon, minerals and biscuit. Thin to medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Thereβs a lovely hoppy edge to this. A great session beer.

Cask at the York. It pours clear golden with a decent white head. The nose is soft, doughy, toasty grass and sweet floral. The taste is bitter-sweet, grainy, straw, biscuit, toasty grain, floral and citrus rind with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Well rounded. Crisp and crushable. Good session gear.

Cask at The Cask & Barrel, Southside. Pours pale gold, thick white head. Light malt, floral hop, some light citrus. Taste has light sweetness, light bitter. Decent balance, tad thin maybe, but a good session beer.
