Bottle courtesy of Bob, cheers Bob! Sunday 17th August 2014 Murky reddy/brown some light balsamic vinegar but not in an intentional way. Malty, very drab, I thought I’d had this but clearly not, still I don’t think I’d rush to have it again, not great, watery, lightly vinegary, mess not my thing at all. A5 A3 T4 P3 Ov9 2.4

Cask (Devonshire Cat, Sheffield) - Golden in colour. Earthy hops and dried fruit in the aroma. The taste is quite strange with earthy hops and biscuity malt being most noticeable. Am not sure if it’s meant to be like this, but it’s a bit odd.

On cask at Wentworth Hotel, Attercliffe - Nice looking hazy golden body, thick white head. Nose is unremarkable, but with a lemony citrus hop thing going on with the malty overtones. Taste is light, crisp and fruity, with a short finish. Nothing special but it was nice to find a handpull that was on (after the other four were flipped on our entry).

GBBF Day 4. Lightly hazy yellow - gold beer. No real head. As Stu said, looks like a cider! Palate is light and dry. Light malt, sweetish. This tastes a little appley but not in a ’too green’ way. Light floralness. Light dry finish. Overall quite a cider like beer!
