Cask at Reading BF. Amber. Huge scent of digestive biscuit with a little sourness. Loses its way aftet that to become a slight sub-standard caramel bitter. Some marzipan and fruit. Drinkable but not great.

Cask half-pint at the 24th Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival on 6th Nov 2014. Poured a pale golden colour with a full white pillow for a head. Floral hop aroma with a light citrus feel along with some maltiness. The taste was a little more malty than the nose suggested, again with a floral and citrus hop flavour. Nice blend and another good beer from this new brewery.
