Bottle. Clear golden, smaller white head, not too lasting. Medium biscuity nose, slight caramel feeling, later more of it. Medium bitterness, mostly grassy. Hints of sweetness in the finish. Milder aftertaste, lasting. Lighter body. Proper and nicely drinkable stuff.

25/8/2022. Cask at the 43rd Peterborough Beer Festival. Pours clear bright golden orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of zesty citrus, grapefruit, malt. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, touch of citric tartness. Moderate body, oily and watery, soft carbonation. Lacks depth but okay.

cask at Maltsters Arms, Tuckenhay. Nil aroma. Medium gold. Thinnest of translucent white heads. Barely there. Some vague sweet edged citrus starts off proceedings but it amounts to very little. Bitterness does kick in once we're heading into the finish alongside some herby umami but by then it's too late. Thin. Light. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Yes, it's sort of yellow but, no, this isn't going to be hammering anyone or anything. Dull Gold.
