Cask at GBBF 2015 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds grain, light farts, citrus rind. Lightly sweet with some bitter grass and rind, light citrus fruit, grain husk. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Bitter finish, more grainy bread and citrus rind. Good stuff.

Fra fat på GBBF aug-19: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Mulig at dette var fra slutten av en cask, da både aroma og smak var ufrisk og litte imøtekommende. Pretty awful. Maybe I was served the last drops from this particular cask?

Cask at gbbf 2015 day 4. Aroma is hedgerow berry, hop hop, grainy nutty. Faint whiff of diacetyl. Flavour is composed I’d light nutty. Golden malts, spicy hop matter, hedgerow hop. Palate is decent condition, semi sweet, OK but boring.

Cask, gravity consumed in a field at Truck Festival, Steventon, Oxon Friday 20th July 2012 Pours amber in colour, with a filmy head. Tangy and fruity with a bitterness that builds, fizzing, zippy fruitiness. Nice beer, I wish all festivals had a bar this decent and reasonable. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Clear orange to light beige beer, no head. Aroma: bit nutty, little cheesy (french cheese), buttered toast, little malt sweetness. MF: carbon, medium to light body. Taste: little fruity in the start, some peaches and pineapples, then bitter hops. Aftertaste: some toast, citrus, bit of piny bitterness, pretty boring.
