16/6/2022. Cask at the 30th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours slightly hazy golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is citrus, hops, malt, stone fruit, light grassy edge. Quite sweet, light bitterness, touch of tart. Light to moderate body. slightly watery, quite flat. Not bad, but lacked a bit of body and life.

Clear golden colour, moderate sized white head; aroma of toasted bread, some floral and fruity notes; taste of toasted bread, roasted sunflower seeds, butterscotch, hints of fruitiness and some disturbing metallic-bittery notes...well I would not say that it is totally bad but due to this unpleasant bitternes, I cannot say that it is a masterpiece...

Cask @ Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aroma bears malty hallmarks. Taste continues, not a lot in terms of hops, but the bready, grainy malts are there for those who want it.
