(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 28 Nov 2015) Pale amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots, citrus and biscuity malt. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, biscuits, toast, leafy hops and a fairly dry finish with a balanced floral bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Fresh and quite tasty, highly drinkable. Quite nice.

Cask at CASK with Sarah. Pours a clear amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has nice light citrus with a hint of light fruit and a grain backbone. Flavor has much more earthy grain with a hint of grass and citrus underlying.

Cask at the Wallington 2011 Beer Festival. It pours amber, with a thin white head. The nose is sweet golden syrup, honey, wood, brown sugar and bread. The taste is citrus, biscuit, wood, hay, straw, pine and some underlying sweetness, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Forgettable.
