Bottle. Cotteridge Beano v2. Straw colour. Big head. Funk. Cheese. Dry and a little thin. I need to make more of an effort with these notes...

Bottle thanks to WMW at the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours lightly hazy pale yellow with a thick white head. The nose is cracker, earth, apple-pear, cereal, touch of bubblegum and banana bread. The taste is crisp, tangy, banana, apple, pear, wood, straw, cereal, nougat and white bread. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Perhaps a touch too sweet and tangy, but decent overall.
