Cask at MS HW, 28/09/18. Light haze on a pale yellow golden pour with a lasting white head. Nose is raw hop, hedgerow, grass, straw, grains, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises airy malts, green hop, raw, bitter, mellow citric peel, straw, twigs, grains, light farmyard tickle. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough green hop affair.

Cask gravity at the St Albans Beer festival 2018. A light hazed golden yellow straw coloured pour a fine white head. Aroma is earthy cereal, corn flakes, grassy raw hop,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet raw grains, little underfermented, fresh grassy hop, tea leaves, light hedgerow berry.. Palate is soft, semi sweet, mellow carbonation. Decent stuff.
