GBBF Day 2. Rot box purchase by Dan the Man. Hazy gold amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Papery malts, thin caramel. Reasonable floral ripe orange Dry finish. Not a bad rotter but no comparison to the Ansell's that proceeded it.

Caramel slight toffee malts. Nice, lingers in the mouth, haven't had an xb since drinking it on cask in the 90s. I remember it being more unique. Still a nice beer though.

Cask @ JDW The Crown Rivers, Heathrow. Pours a clear amber, off-white head. Supposed to taste of honey and blackcurrant. It doesn't. Dark caramel vibes, smooth aged malt. So-so.
