Third by cask, second day of GBBF Winter 20, Elgar Bar. Shared with Finn. Deep amber body, covering off-white head, spotty lacing. Leafy hops on the nose, malty sweetness behind. Malt-fruity flavours, impacts of apricot, caramel, and bittersweet aftertaste with leafy hops. Satisfying. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).
