28/7/2023. Keg at the 33rd Ipswich Beer and Cider Festival. Pours clear pale golden orange with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is musty, straw, husky tropical fruits, rather stewed. Moderate sweetness, medium developing bitterness. Touch of tart and a little fungal. Medium sweetness, oily, soft carbonation. Aroma was ok but didn't really seem totally right.
