Cask at GBBF08. Weak fruity aroma. Hazy golden colour, small stable frothy white head. Good fruitiness in the flavour, there is also some strange tea note and a medium bitterness. A bit strange, that teaish spice note.

Cask at the GBBF 2008. Golden colour, low head. Very moderate aroma, just a hint of fruity hops. The flavour has also some moderate fruity hops, leading to a moderate "dusty" bitterness in the finish, but is otherwise relatively bland. The mouthfeel is fairly thin.

Cask as Solstice Pale (GBBF 2008) - Golden in colour. Slightly acidic aroma with a hint of pickled onions and grapefruit. Refreshing and clean taste, moderate bitterness with some grapefruit and lemon notes.
