Bag in a box from the brewer's own bar at the Bracknell Festival of Food and Music (great free community festival by the way, we had a great time here!). Amber with a white head. Good condition. Fruity up front, dry earthy bitterness to follow. The bitterness was quite harsh initially - after the first sip I thought I was going to struggle with it, but it grew on me and I was quite liking it by the end. A surprisingly good match for a wild mushroom massaman.

500ml bottle from an Eton deli. Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, yeast, light citrus, mineral. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, earthy, mineral, light pepper spice, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Best Before June 2021. Not great. Very rough around the edges.

Cask ½ pint at Hope & Anchor, Wokingham, on June 14, 2017.Malty, a tad fruity, bitter taste. Bitter, harsh aftertaste. Medium full low CO2 mouthfeel, medium to medium high bitterness enhanced by that harsh twig like resin. Clear pale golden color, white head with lacing. Malty, fruity, also some off scent like cardboard.Not very impressed, sadly enough since it is brewed in Wokingham and I had it in Wolkingham, a bit too old?4/3/5/3/9=2.4
