(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London 23 April 2017) Golden amber colour with foamy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots, orange and some caramel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, toast, citrus and a balanced earthy bitterness. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Gravity cask at the Bedford Beer Festival. Golden orange, clear with very little head. Grapefruit, honey, slightly medicinal aroma. Bittersweet taste with fresh citrus edges. Hints of grain and soap. Lingering bittersweet aftertaste. Very well made.
