Good, fluffy, light-yellow head over light golden, clear (or ought I to say "bright"?) beer. Very nice grapey hops, bit of dishtowel, honey - and hops again, US ones. Very bitter head, hoppy, getting into a superb hoppy taste, grapey hops, fresh citrus, more dishwater (not disturbing, however), and a very spritzy MF. Light bodied, but giving an impression of density and alcohol, that widely surpasses its modest 4% ABV. British in alcohol, American in flavour - profuse thanks to Ewan McD for this true gem! I can only try to imagine how this must be on a well-cared for cask...

Cask@GBBF2009. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, fruits and some mild bready malty notes. Flavour is mild diacetyl, some lemon as well as some strange sweet birchsappylike notes.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Yellow color, small white head. Lemony cat pee aroma. Light lemony, lemon grass flavor. Kind of honey sweetness too. Light palate. Subnormal.
