Bottle at the holiday cottage, 25/10/15. Clear golden copper topped with an off White swirl. Nose is on the thin side, straw, light honey, faint bread. Taste comprises light malt, fruit rinds, raisens, straw, faint citrics. Medium to light bodied, touch thin and watery, light bittering close. Not offensive but pretty muted ... blandometer in deep amber.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 5 - London. Pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. The nose holds bready pale malts and damp grains. Light sweet flavor with nips of ripe citrus, more damp grains, bread, light bitter hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Finaihes sweet, with yet more damp and grainy bread, ripe citrus. Meh, ho hum. (August 2015, score: 3.0)
Bottle shared at chriso and Ruth's pre GBBF tasting 2016 - London. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Rough aroma, some musty grains, hay. Light sweet flavour, grassy, with leaves, dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly grassy in the finish, with more doughy bread, simple sugars. Not good at all. (August 2016, score: 2.3)
