Cask at the Spread Eagle, Ipswich. Pours pale amber with a lasting bubbly off white head. Aroma is light floral, hoppy, caramel and fruity notes Medium sweetness, moderate but sharp bitterness. Quite light bodied, slight sticky texture. This is a nice light very drinkable floral fruity bitter

Cask pint in the sun trap that is the front patio of The Barking Smack on Great Yarmouth seafront: 8th June 2014. Nice easy drinking session ale, amber with a white lasting head. Slightly more malty than hoppy but the blend is well balanced with only the finish being hoppy and drying. I like Grain breweries beers in general and this follows that pattern.

Market Porter, Borough 4 Nov 12. Lys gyldenbrun. Lavt skum som fester seg litt til glasset. Svak fruktaroma. Smaken er druer og litt syrlig frukt etter hvert.
