Gravity cask at the 2016 Cambridge Beer Festival. Dark gold, hazy in that wonderful unfined way. Looseish white head. Smells - actually not so much smells as reeks - of orange peel, clove and coriander. OK, I feel like I’m trapped in a potpourri ornament. The saison yeast is a welcome distraction. Taste is sweetish sour with more clove and harsh citrus. Gritty yeast in the finish. Can you have too much of a good thing? I appreciate what they are trying to do but it is much of a muchness for me.

Cask (Pleased To Meet You, Newcastle) - Hazy amber with a small head. Orange peel and musty notes in the aroma. Tangy and zesty taste with orange, lemon and a hint of spice detected.
