GBBF Day 1. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, small white head. Palate is light and dry. Light dry malts. Hops start floral - skunk then there is a surge of sourness and off flavours. Bleh!

Cask - Lots of grain and slight earthy hops. Clear gold with almost no head. Earthy, woody hops with some grain and light bitterness. Pretty mild and grainy.
