Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is sweet, oily citrus, musty, jute, earth and spice. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, resinous, honeycomb, cereal, citrus peel, spice, toasty grass and bread with dry, spicy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Could be a bit cleaner….’tis a little bit muddled. So-so.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds mellow ripe citrus, some pale bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with pleasant juicy tangerine, light pine, more pale bready malts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced on the finish, a little resinous, with hints of pine. Nice.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Clear orange golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is light citric jam, straw, lemon rind, melon, trace of vanilla. Taste comprises light citric peel, melon, straw, touch of breadyness, hay, grain. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with subtle hop bitterness. Ok cask affair but lower end of the style spectrum.
