28/2/2020. Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival 2020. Pours clear golden with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of Sorachi Ace hop, citrus, syrup, sweet malt and biscuit with a touch of herb. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, creamy texture. Distinctive Sorachi Ace ale. Liked this.

Gravity cask at the 2020 Leicester Beer Festival. Dark gold and clear with a tiny film of white head. Sharp aroma, with cooking herbs and overripe oranges. Sweet taste with a pushback from the spicy soapy bitterness of the Sorachi Ace hop. Sugary buttered notes in the finish. This is Sorachi Ace in all its clunky glory. They nailed it.
