Brewery draught, 11/7/24. Clear, bright gold. Small, white head. Soft flowers, honey and authentic yeast. Super clean. Malty, with honey and mild sourdough. Spice and flowers from the moderately bitter hops. Flavorful and balanced with high attenuation. Lovely yeast signature. Lighter body, but very drinkable and not thin.

Brewery draught, 11/7/24. Bit of haze, maize-golden. Small, white head. Touch of something that smells like it needed a bit more aging. Not getting much corn. Better in the mouth with sweet, biscuity corn and lightly sweet malts. Good attenuation. Mild bitterness. Good texture and attenuation, though a mild off-putting note throughout. Not exactly sure what.

Brewery draught, 11/7/24. Lightly hazy, brass-bronze. Medium-sized, off-white head, modest retention. Dainty pineapple and actual rind-like character. Bit of powdered sugar initially but it falls off. Excellent malt base. Juicy, real pineapple, good attenuation on fruit and malt. Plentiful but not extreme tartness lingering alongside fruit. Some earthiness and mild bitterness add a nice touch.

Interesting this brew made it across the pond for a British Beer Fest when most folks here in Mass have never heard of this brewery. Anyways in Marlborough not Worcester. Gold brew and bit of cloudiness / floaters. Soft soapy head. Nose is tropical fruits and some pine. Tatses of grapefruit, papaya, tangerine, pine, aerosol spray. Fairly bitter. Fruity finish.

Can pour from the brewery. It's a cloudy golden orange-light brown with tons of sparkle, finger-plus width off-white tight foamy head with excellent retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus and pine. Taste follows aroma with background malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, not getting the juice here--pretty old school. Meh.

Can pour from the brewery. It's a very, very dark brown-mahogany (almost opaque) with light sparkle, 2-finger beige foamy head with fair retention and thin ring of lacing. Aroma is strongly bitter roasted coffee (fairly ash tray) over mild semi-sweet in the background. Taste is a bit less ashy than aroma but toward that end with a generalized roasted malt in the background. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and lightly bitter roasted finish. Overall, the coffee is far too bitter/ashy for my liking but great strength in both aroma and flavor for the ABV! A bit too carbonated.

Can pour from the brewery. It's a murky dark brown with thin cap of beige head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong pine over base caramel. Taste is strong pine over tobacco, leather, rubber, and German malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Overall, lacking a rich malt presence for contrast and some off flavors. Potential but doesn't execute.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small white head. Light palate, mildly dry, very mild carbonation. Thin malts, a little creamy sweetness. Smooth pine. Modest ripe citrus. Light semi dry finish. A mixed bag. Nothing to dislike but nothing to rave about either.

Cask@The Great British Beer Festival 2022 - Semi juicy fruity tropical and citrus fruity notes, sweet malty backing, piney resinous bitter hoppy close. Really quaffable, could of murdered a pint of this.
