Cask. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, some fruity and herbal notes with mild nectar. Flavour is grains, some fruits, mild grass, herbs and some floral notes. Quaffable and somewhat dry palate.

Cask-conditioned at the Lord High Constable of England (JDW), Gloucester docks, July 2016. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Easy drinking pale ale with a touch of stone fruits, sweetish lager malts and hint of leafy hops, ending in a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask. Pours light amber, without much head at all. Slightly unpleasant metallic aroma. Taste is also not great- starts off as a beer but then becomes apple, cider, then blue cheese. Maybe something was off with this one.
