Cask at the St. Albans Beer Festival 2013. Poured a hazy, light amber colour with a scummy white head. Aroma of apple cider and vinegar. Blind tasting and I would have sworn that I had a cider in front of me and not a beer. Fruity flavour with notes of pineapple and sweets. Finishes with hay, sugar and a little stale malt. Very odd beer, no idea if it was supposed to taste like that...

Cask @ St Albans Beer Festival 2013. Golden brown, cloudy. Looks and smells off, but a deeper sniff will reveal the pineapple. The taste is fruity sour, with bitter edges. Lingering sour finish. Not sure I’m ready for this.
