20/2/2020. Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Pours clear bright golden amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt biscuit, hops and light honey. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. The honey is nice and subtle. But of bitterness came through to finish. Quite drinkable.
