(Cask at Angleterre, 20150426) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was small and white and it lasted long. Aroma had fruitiness, grass and grain. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grain, tartness, sourness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was mildly sour and bitter. The sourness was too weird but otherwise nice brew.
