Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours clear yellow with a mild, white foam head. Simple beer. Biscuity malt character, low bitterness, faint lemon notes, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Basic doughy and biscuity malt finish, more lemony hops. Nice drinking beer.

Cask at GBBF 2014. It pours clear pale gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, fruity, grainy, stone fruit and candied citrus peel. The taste is sweet, grainy, toasty, apricot, oily, peach, sugar and cereal with a drying finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Sticky mouth-feel. Pretty basic.
