Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Misted pale gold. Voluminous swede settles to a thin lasting job. Bit of a buggy twang here. Also pale dry malt and some light lemony peachy hop. Taste is fairly dry and light bitter. Light body with high carbonation (definitely a bit buggy). Light dry light bitter finish. Wonky but decent enough. Refreshing if nowt else

Cask at GBBF '23, day 2, 02/08/23. Deep golden pour with an off white cap that escapes as a swirl. Nose is buttery, earthy fruits, grains, herb. Taste comprises more buttery notes, light diacetyl, grains, hedgerow, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Not great ... why would you produce this or put it on at a showcase festival?
