Cask at The White Swan, Solihull. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is grassy hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a hoppy, big malty palate. Very drinkable actually and I’ve never had such a malty grassy hop beer like this. It might catch on!

500ml Bottle: BBD 11/2013 poured at home into two half-pint glass tankards during 06/2013. Mid-range golden body with a white head that didn’t hang around very long. Citrus nose (grapefruit and lemons): semi-sweet taste again with a citrus twist. Slightly acidic feel to the whole tasting. Refreshing and thirst quenching, ideal for drinking in the sun after a hard days toil: which is when I broached the bottle.

Greaty hoppy aroma that transfers well into a nice malty flavour with some fruitiness.
