Cask at NWAF, Derby, Wednesday 17th February 2016 Warm gold-orangey coloured beer with a filmy head on top. Yes this is bloody good, touch soapy but afterwards you note that the hops are really assertive and hang round like a good fart (but smell better) Nice dry finish, rippling hops across the roof of the mouth, punchy citrussy bitter thrust. It’s a very good beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Light pale malts, not that sweet. Apple, not too strong. Mild orange marmalade and floral bitterness. Light dry bitterish finish. Passable.
