GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear amber beer, few pale tan bubbles. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Tangy malts. Dried fruits. Light finish. Clean beer but utterly standard stuff.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear deep amber - brown with a tiny beige head. The nose is brown bread, earthy, coffee, cake and malt loaf. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, earthy roast, mild acidity, cold brew coffee, toasty and light spice with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Simple bitter.

On gravity at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider festival, 6/6/2013. Deep, ruddy brown with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish bitter, with plenty of berry fruits, caramel, slightly earthy malts and a moderately bitter finish. Good.
