Cask at Craft 100. It pours amber with a small white head. The nose is toasty, bitter-sweet, sugar puffs, candy, grain and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasty, grainy, booze, cereal, oats, spice, earth, alcohol and touch of floral stuff with boozy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit boozy and rough. I am sure this would be way nicer on keg...

Cask at Craft 100. It pours clear amber with a tiny white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, orange sponge cake, brioche, candy and custard. The taste is bitter, earthy, cereal toasty grain, cereal, grassy/floral, pithy citrus and touch of soap with a drying finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A bit soapy perhaps. So-so.

Draft at Craft 100 April 2015 - London. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy white head. Bready pale malts in the aroma with some ripening citrus fruits. Medium sweet flavor with doughy white bread, ripe lemon, low bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly sticky, with more pale bread and generic ripe citrus fruits. OK.

Draft at Craft 100 April 2015 - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy white head. Pithy citrus aroma with undertones of dry, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with more pithy citrus, light minerals, rind. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance on the finish, some cleansing minerality, citrus rind, straw. Good stuff.
