Keg at the St Mars of the Desert Taproom. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of pine and resin, orange peel. Taste has savoury herbs, big orange hit. Bitter finish.

Can picked up at the brewery. As well as very many pours on site. Moderate haze on a medium gold. Glossy messy lasting semi lacing white foam. I’m rating this can rather than the beer on tap and there’s a difference. Anyhoo. Nose has sappy pine. Leafy hop. Citrus peel. Touch of savoury sage like herb. Clean dry malts. Taste is pretty dry throughout with a whisper of malty sweetness. Big hit of pithy citrus bitterness. Clean and dry on the palate. There’s no joose sweetness happening here. Fine brisk carbonation. Dry and pithy finish. This ain’t appealing to your juicy kids this. Mesters beer. Btw the draft version is foamier and brighter and lighter on the palate.
