Handpull cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Amber and clear, with a loose white head on top. Pine, floral, nettles and a bit of watercress in the aroma. Bitter taste takes hold almost immediately, turning ever more bitter. Leads to an intense bitter finish throughout the entire mouth. Medium body, slick texture. Nice.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Cotteridge, Birmingham, consumed at home Thursday 7th December 2015 Pours hazy yellow gold with a white head atop. A touch shallow in the flavour department, there is an underlying citrus pithiness, but it’s not really got too much else. It’s fine but somewhat tame for Gazza, ok. A7 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2
