Bottle from Taste of Northumbria in Alnwick. Appearance - golden with a neat lacy head. Nose - lemon and grassiness. Taste - more lemon notes. Grass again or even herbs. Palate - light bodied, long dry and zingy. Overall - good for the low ABV.

Gravity poured third of a pint at the CAMRA Peterborough Beer Festival on 24th Aug 2016. Sorry to say this was the worst beer of the day: just awful. Mini-haze to the pale blonde pour, small white wispy head. Farmyard esters filled my nose, like a nasty, overpowering โsaisonโ that had gone wrong: taste carried on in the same way. A lesser man would have drain poured it, but I manfully finished the third and carried on my mission. I just hope the cask was infected because it can not have left the brewery in such a state.
