Taste comrpises peach, orange pith, floral notes, light pine, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an earthy hop wash. Decent enough sessioner.

Cask at the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a big super frothy white head. The aroma is big yeast citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big hop bitter, yeast, zesty citrus, light medicinal palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Refreshing for sure but I’m not convinced by the aftertaste.

Cask - Pine, skunky and grass. Like walking through an old Forrest. Clear gold with no head. Forrest flavors again with a nice bitterness and light finish.

Mid-yellow with a good head on it. It has a hoppy base but a fair bitterness is dominant in its aftertaste.
