Cask at cloisters. Pours golden, nose is grassy, nutty, taste is harsh, floral, thin.

Cask. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is bready and biscuity malts along with some herbs, grass and mild lemony and nectary notes. Flavour is bready malts, mild grains as well as some herbal, grassy and mildly floral hops to go with it. Nice bitterness to it.

Hand-pulled pint in The Wyndham Arms (their brewery tap in Salisbury) on 12th Oct 2013. Pale, straw blond in colour (like so many of their beers), with a thin white covering for a head. As the name might suggest, the aroma and taste were of a hoppy nature, but nothing was strong enough to give it a bitter or repugnant over hopped smell or taste. OK, but moving towards bland in my eyes. In fact I had to have a bottle of Entire Stout as my second beer, just to give my senses something to do.

Gravity cask at the Solihull CAMRA beer festival 2013. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is stale malt. The flavour is weak bitter with a weak liqourice slightly caramel palate. It may have been a Hopfest but I don’t think the hops wanted to party! It’s refreshing enough, but I expected more.
