Can at home. Good pour but the flavour was a bit odd. Almost meaty.... Anyway, a fair effort and drinkable.

7/10/2025. Cask at the Greene King Beer Café, Bury St Edmunds. Decent pour. Aroma is hoppy, honey, herbal, citrus, grassy, resiny, stewed tropical fruits, slight sour edge. Moderate sweetness and bitterness, sour tang. Moderate body, average to soft carbonation. Looked good but a bit disappointing otherwise and not at all sure about the sour notes.

2/10/2025. Tap at Three Wise Monkeys, Ipswich. Okay pour. Aroma is malty, slightly worty, caramel, stewed fruity notes. Sweet, musty, fruit taste. More worty elements. Quite fizzy. Didn’t enjoy this much at all.
