[Gravity cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Golden amber. Initial taste of straw and farmyard, slight carbonation. Flavour grows to reveal earth and then a spicy tingle, which I couldn’t identify as coriander particularly but was nevertheless quite pleasant. Some fruit, smoke and bitter citrus in finish. After disliking this initially, I grew to like it quite a lot. c5

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 18/04/09. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Citrus hop and sweet malts aroma. Flavour had plenty of marmalade fruitiness, more citrus hops and a vague herbal edge, before a decent dry finish. Great stuff - a big dose of coriander was thankfully absent.
