Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Amber-orange colour. Flavour of orange and grass and dust. A bit grubby, a bit thin. A rather sub-optimal brew.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance -amber with nae heid even if poured from a height. Nose - light orange and malt bag. Taste - dry biscuits and light orange again. Palate - light bodied with a dry crunchy texture and a fairly clean finish. A bit flat though. Overall - it’s under carbonated so expect that’s why the hops haven’t come through.

Cask at GBBF 2016. Day 1. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds pale grains and hay. Light sweet flavour, grassy and grainy, with pale bread and a little carpet. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Grassy bitter finish. So so overall.

Cask at GBBF’16, day one, 09/08/16. Golden with a decent off white head. Nose is citric peel, toasted grains, bready notes, straw. Taste comprises citric sherbets, bread dough, straw, tangerine, pale malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
