Bottle at home and it's a good one. Balanced towards malt so there is a sweetness to the taste but very refreshing. And loads going on for a sensible abv. Very good example of the style.

1/3 cask pour at GBBF Winter. Foggy golden pour with a frothy white head. Hoppy aroma, fruity, musty. Taste adds on a layer of hop oil character, sticky and oily. Mouthcoating with a fair amount of bitterness.
