A good traditional session ale, copper in colour and a low 4.1% ABV. Not too bitter with a sweet aftertaste. A must for the seasoned drinker.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear orange-copper with a foamy white head. The nose holds toasted grains and mellow earth. Light sweet flavor, a little dank, with more grains, and faint dried toffee, and leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Lightly sweet on the finish, with more toasted grain character. So so.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear deep brown with a small white head. The nose is bitter-sweet toasty, woody, leather and dull toffee. The taste is restrained bitterness, toasty, leather, wood, coffee grounds, light acidity, damp leaf, twig and dirt with an earthy finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Twiggy bitter offering. Very "meh".
