On tap at One Pint Pub, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of English bready malt, some soil, and a touch of esters. Flavour is full of English bready malt, gentle hops, and light esters. Actually better than it would likely be on cask. Pleasant.

(Keg at Pien Shop, 20250221) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had earth, malts, toffee and berries. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were earth, biscuits, malts, light sourness and soft bitterness. Aftertaste had malts, sourness and bitterness. I'd say this was at a little bit off.
