Cask at GBBF '23, day 2, 02/08/23. Deep golden pour with an off white cap that escapes as a swirl. Nose is buttery, earthy fruits, grains, herb. Taste comprises more buttery notes, light diacetyl, grains, hedgerow, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Not great ... why would you produce this or put it on at a showcase festival?

GBBF Day 2. Cask. A mild haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Sweet pale malts. Floral hops. A fair dose of buttery diacetyl. Light semi dry finish. Bleh!

Bottle from Beautiful Beers. Appearance - slightly gushy but catch-able. Copper with a slightly off white billowy head. Nose - lemon sherbot note is slightly alarming. Fingers crossed. Biscuit backdrop. Taste - bready, lime, light metallic. Think it's ok, not infected. Palate - light to medium bodied. Dry, zingy finish. Overall - decent.

500ml Bottle - Dark amber/copper with a haze and a small head. Grapefruit, pine, blackcurrant and raisins in the aroma. Fruity and hoppy taste with grapefruit, blackcurrant, raisins and hints of chocolate and caramel. A nice modern interpretation of a bitter.

Bottle from Russell & Newnes, Aldeburgh. Pours slightly hazy pale amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of hop, citrus, caramel and malt. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, very soft carbonation. Fruity, hoppy finish. Very nice.

Handpull cask at the Crown Hotel, Downham Market. Copper with a big cream-coloured head and lots of lacing. Malt led aroma, but there’s also woodsmoke, redcurrant and forest floor. Bittersweet malty taste turns into a fairly stern hoppy bitter at the end of the sip. Long astringent bitter finish. A very good recipe.
