Bottle from Beautiful Beers on 12th March 2021. Pours a hazy copper with shallow disappearing pale tan foam. Caramel malt aroma. Sweet malts and toffees in-mouth with a suggestion of fresh apple. Leafy hops and caramel malts steer a bittersweet finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

Cask at the Griffin Hotel, Attleborough. Slightly hazy golden brown. Flat as the proverbial pancake. Yeasty, bready, sour scent. Taste is a balanced but uninspiring bittersweet. Short finish. Uninteresting.

Cask@ the Harlequin, Sheffield, as Elmtree Bitter Special Dry Hopped. Should this be a seperate entry? Red berries and cascade hops in the aroma. Disappointing flavor. Oily with just hints of grapefruit.

Bitter and mild spiced hoppy flavour with a dry malty and towards breadish base flavour. Light citric finish again with a distinct bitterness and light ashtray-ish spice note.
