Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Light yellow, hazy with a ring of white head. Sweet creamy aroma with notes of lemon meringue and gooseberry Fool. Sweet taste with a balancing bitter hop, although all and all this is a sweet beer. Juicy white grape and soft citrus in the aftertaste. Flat oily body. Lush.
gave a cheers!

Handpull cask at the Rock nr Whitwick, Coalville as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Brownish black, opaque with a creamy khaki head. Liquorice, ash, some bitter chocolate. Bitter-sour and slightly herbal taste with some treacle and Marmite in the finish. Not bad but a bit messy.

Pours a lightly hazed amber colour with a small thin off-white head. The aroma is malty, biscuity and caramel with some fruity notes. A moderately sweet and malty taste, sweet biscuit and caramel, and ripe fruit flavours and fruity hops in a bittersweet finish.
