Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 06-01-10 Pours warm gold with a spicy hoppy nose. There is a real spiciness in the mouth, I get something like ginger but others aren’t getting this, some bitterness comes through, there is a little tangerine and maybe a nod to some grapefruit. Really nice stuff, this was another popular beer A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6
