Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear pale gold with a small white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, grassy, green, pine, floral, forest and leaf. The taste is smooth, mellow bitterness, green, grassy, spring onion and straw with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. The aroma is pretty nice, but the taste lets this one down. Fair overall.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small white head. Light palate, modest fine carbonation. Mild malt sweetness. Sweetish pine and some citric hop underneath. Light finish. It’s a session ale but I still wanted it to be bolder.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma is hoppy, very fruity, a bit too fruity I would say. Doesn’t remind me of spruce anyway. Taste has the same thing: very fruity, very sweet pineapple, hops, some malts but no spruce imo. Decent body and carbonation.
