Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16. Hazed yellow golden with a decent enough off white covering. Nose is lightly toasted malts, orange squash, straw, grain. Taste comprises light florals, grain, vanilla, off notes, faint citric rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, the faintest of hop bitterness in the close. Not great ... harsh and raw all round.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a clearish, deep amber hue with a creamy head. Toasty malts in the nose, light cocoa, dry toffee. Light sweet flavour with mellow toast, leafy hops, earth, light coffee. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more toasted grains, earthy bitterness, touches of dried berries, faint coffee and cocoa. So so. This is the closest this brewpub came to making an acceptable beer.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours mostly clear amber with a creamy topping. Bland aroma, just a few leaves and lightly toasted grains. Light sweet flavour, very bitter, with a quite odd fruit syrup note, some burnt caramel, harsh grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Astringent and harshly bitter on the finish. Hard to drink.
