@Griffin, Frome. Bright brassy colour. The aroma is accented towards caramel with a hint of wood. Sweetish, with slightly mushroomy notes. The finish is earthy - there is actually no bright amarillo goodness at all.

@ Griffin, Frome. Golden-straw colour. Earthy hop aroma with lemony accents and lots of fresh farm (poop). Very bitter body, with earthy notes, hints of mushrooms and cheshire cheese. Maybe some hay in there as well. Complex, tasty session bi

Cask @ White Horse, Twerton. Amber-accented gold colour. The aroma is minerally, lightly caramelly and fairly earthy. The palate has a similar character, with a nice toastiness to the caramel malts.
