Cask gravity at the London drinker fest 2016. Clear golden orange coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is rustic pale grains, semi sweet, grain husks, orange rind. Raw grains. Flavour is composed of nice raw cereal grains, little rustic grainstore , orange rind, assertive bitterness. Palate is medium light decent cask condition. Lingering grain husks and assertive grassy dirty bitterness. Interesting enough.

Cask at Westow, Crystal Palace shared with Finn. A clear amber coloured beer with a filmy layer at the top. Fragile lacing. Smell of apricot. Jam-like falvours of juicy malts, bread and dried fruit. Bittersweet tail. A little thin in the mouth. Okay with the food (Greater London, 28.11.2015).
