Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2021 - Hackney. Pours mostly clear ruby with a frothy, off-white head. Lightly sweet with assertive leafy, earthy hops, dried berries, toasted grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation; nicely conditioned. Moderate bitterness to finish, more earth, leaves, leather, toasted grains. Good overall.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, trace of dark toffee. Bitterish esters leads to a bitter floral hop. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Bitter linger. Not bad.
