Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Golden with a hint of a haze and slight, white, head. Floral, perfumed hop aroma, with a touch of spice, sweetish, grainy, malts and some stone fruits. Prickly mouth, with lemon and apricot fruits, green herbs, some crisp maltiness and a bitter finish, that lingering on in the mouth. Enjoyable.

Cask @ Gallows Bird, Espoo. Aroma has licorice and toffee typical to English ales. Also some herbs. Flavour has strong English hops with grapefruit & herbs and toffee notes. Also licorice. Aftertaste has ash and mellow tobacco notes with some hay. These English hops are still not my thing.
