Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. KEGS. Cask. Lightly hazy amber beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and pretty crisp from good fine carbonation. Light sweetish malts, little caramel. Very mild. Hops are slightly bitter and with a modest orange citrus and peel. Finishes crisp and semi dry. The very good condition and crispness make this pretty drinkable.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS! Clear amber beer, tidy pale tan suddy head. Light palate, slightly dry. Sweetish malt base with a trace of toffee. Tangy dried fruits and a little acetic generic fruit. Finishes smooth. Not a shouty single hop beer but pretty drinkable.

Cask at the GBBF - 08/08/12. Golden with a small white head which retained well. Great fresh hop aroma, citrus notes and a little grass. The hops were a lot more toned down in the taste which was a shame, a little grain and pale malt. Medium bodied with a bitter dry finish.
