Gravity dispense at Merton Winter BF ’13. Lightly hazed blonde with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates to the edge leaving a thin film. Nose is citrus, pale malt, apricot, hint of piss. Taste comprises pale malt, touch of honey, lemon, floral tones. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation with light bitterness in the finish. OK - file under ’W’ for whelmed!

Cask, gravity, Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb 2013 w/e of Friday 15th, Saturday 16th February 2013 Pours gold with a slim white head, maybe a tiny bit of haze. I like Hornbeam beers but I found this to be a little lacking, it seemed rather too safe. It ticked the citrussy, reasonably bitter decent session golden ale boxes, but I expected a little more from Hornbeam and sadly this didn’t deliver it, ’could do better’ A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
