Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours clear gold with a faint, filmy head. Sour malts and sweaty feet on the nose. A little grass, some dirt and wet malts make up the flavor. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Light sour finish, some earth and grass. Come on, Bree. This is poor.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma seems quite citric. Flavor is a bit papery, with some citrus bitter. It’s clean and refreshing.
