Thanks to Simon T. Fantastic grainy bitter beginning. Smooth bitter dry grain. Sessionable dry, malty dusty, nice Ale characteristics. Bitter dry aftertaste.

28/7/2023. Cask at the 33rd Ipswich Beer and Cider Festival. Pours hazy golden amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, straw, husky fruits, caramel, bread, yeast. Medium plus sweetness, initial moderate bitterness develops nicely. Medium body, smooth, very soft carbonation. Flavoursome, tasty, good for 8 Sail.

NERAX cask, 4/20/23. Clear, deep blonde, frothy, white head. Sulfur, mineral, rich buttery honey and juicy hops. Succulent malt. Clean. Soft, malty, hoppy with sulfur, mineral, juicy grape and a bit of appley yeast. Great bitterness levels (low) with excellent, well attenuated malt. Finally a decent pale beer at this fest.

Cask at Aswarby Rectory, Aswarby. Sunk a few of these during the fabulous wedding of Luke and Jess. A very decent golden that you could keep supping all night, which is what I did. Yummy blonde, shiny yellow cask ales for days.
