Bottle conditioned, 50cl, from Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Slightly hazy gold with some yeast clumps despite careful pouring; thin ring of white head; slightly spicy yeat aroma with some citrus; sweet malty flavour with some grapefruit; a sharp bitterness develops leaving a dry tart finish. Very drinkable.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is eggy, vegetably and slightly fruity. Flavour is fruity hops, some yeast and slight vegetably hints. Pleasant in the flavour, but aroma was a bit unpleasant.

Bottled. Hazy pale orange. Arma of heather, apples and smoke. Light bodied with notes of licorice. Extremely minerally and heavily sulphury. Resiny finish. More strange than good.
