Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear copper with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds toasty bread, ripe orange, grain. Light-medium sweet flavor with whole grain toast, more ripe orange. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Nicely balanced on the finish, with more toasted grains and citrusy hops. Outstanding balance. Very solid.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Amber with reddish hues and topped with a decent light beige covering. Nose is earthy hop, straw, hint of biscuit, bitter orange. Taste comprises candied fruit peel, punchy tropical licks, light pine needle, biscuit crumble. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow skunked hop chase. Decent hoppy amber. Brewer suggest ’ESB’ on pump clip but by RB parlance this one carries quite a dose of hops than to pair with said style.
