On cask at GCBF 2016, pours a murky opaque dark peachy colour with a small white head. Nose brings out murky earthy notes, some pith and yeast. Flavour is just as filthy, messy and yeasty, with nasty dirty earthy yeast, subdued strawberries and a hoppy astringency on the finish. A messy dink cask here. No good. Stick with the regular IPA.

On tap at GCBF 2016, pours a clear dull copper with a small white head. Aroma barely has any hops, with dull floral and earthy ones, and a faded biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is clean, with restrained dry hops without much character and a smooth biscuity malt backbone. Won't win any awards for ambition, but it's clean and decently put together.
