Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2017 - Hackney. Potentially lightly hazy gold with a bubbly, white head. The nose holds grainy pale malts, old lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with some grassy notes, chalky minerality, more lemon peel, pale grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more minerality, more lemon peel and pale grains. So so overall.

Fra cask på Craft Beer Co. St. Mary Axe, London 12 Okt 17. Mørk gylden. Skum langs glasset. Aroma av lettrøkt makt. Smaken kjeksaktig. Blir behagelig tørr etter hvert.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Delicious showcase of how to use citra hops and in a cask beer too. Fantastic job.

Tried at the nottingham beer festival 2017. The aroma and taste overpowered by the harsh aniseed. Not well balanced
