Bottle from the Giddy Goat, Sheringham. Deep gold with a thin white head and an aggressive fizz. Mild malt and citrus aroma. Sharp and sour lemon flavour dominates. A touch of white bread and quite a lot of white pepper in the dry and mildly finish. Far too fizzy, and the sourness is not pleasant and clearly not deliberate. I note no-one else has mentioned sourness, so wonder if there was something wrong with this bottle?

9th Feb 2019; hand-pulled cask pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates. Golden/amber body, full white crown with lacing. Light citrus leanings in the fruity aroma and taste, mild bitterness fighting to come through the malty base.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2018, day one, 04/12/18. Light golden blonde with an off white cap. Nose is grassy, hint of citric zest, light eggy notes. Taste comprises bitter orange, stewed fruits, citric tinged straw, fruit loaf. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Sub par for style ... the touch of Burton Snatch on the nose was a touch off putting.
