GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, bubbly white head. Thin palate, modest fine carbonation. Light malts. Floralness that turns bitters. Repressed citrus. Dry floral finish. A bit tedious.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Hazy pale yellow color, small to average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, quite some herbs and spices, lightly sweet, lightly bitter in the aftertaste. Average body and carbonation. Don’t like it, too much herbs and spices in it.

Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. 12/08/16. Nil aroma - picking up something sweet but may be my imagination. Dark brown - treacle toffee. Light head, but it’s just a whisp. Light bodied. Flat. Medium sweet, with the slightest bitterness. Malty. Not bad, just a bit bland. Not convinced it’s a stout.
