Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/5/2016. Amber with a slight, off-white, head. A very standard bitter, with a touch of citrus fruits, cereal malts and moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Bottle on the train to the Cotteridge Convention. Thanks to Cloin. Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. The nose has some dry dough, hay rindy citrus. Light sweet flavor with sturdy bitter hay, light grass, dried out pale malts. Light in body with fine carbonation. Grassy bitter finish with further rind, dry pale bread. OK.
