Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear ruddy brown with a light, tan cream head. The nose holds light chocolate and...mint? Light to medium sweet flavor, cooling and minty, with light roast and chocolate. Light bodied with fine carbonation. More cooling mint in the finish, with mild bitter earth and further cocoa notes. Not bad.

Bottle from gbbf 2015 and drunk at home. Clear amber copper brown colour lasting thin white head. some caramel on the aroma. Some light hop. Grassy hop. Light bitterness. I mean it’s like a not very good UK golden ale. In fact it’s an English bitter. Wow we have come full circle. I started drinking brown UK bitter and now we have the emperors new clothes of a session pale ale that is a UK bitter. Weird. Not the beer weird. Just life is weird. And cyclical. OK bitter.
