Cask at the Playhouse, Colchester. Pours amber brown with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hop, caramel, plastic and a very light spice edge. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily and creamy texture, soft to fine carbonation. Drinkable but not great.

Keg. Taste is very very malty, with biscuit and grain, light lime, sight tropical note. Tastes like a larger not an APA. Very dry finish. Very poor.

Fra cask på Penderels Oak, London 13 Okt 17. Mørk amber. Lavt skum med litt farge. Aroma av søt frukt & bær. Smaken har det samme søte bærpreget. Tørr, sherryaktig avslutning. Av de bedre på festivalen.
