Handpull cask at the Pilgrims Progress, Bedford. Amber, clear, with a smooth off-white head. Light malty aroma with even lighter citrus and a bit of grass. Bittersweet taste, very gentle and heading to a slightly more assertive bitter at the end of the sip. Long bitter finish with orange oil in the finish. Tasty but certainly at the plainer end of the spectrum.

750ml bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear, chestnut brown. Messy, creamy, tan head that stays the course. Nose has coffee truffle. Fudgy malts. Milky coffee. Dried fruit. Smells great. Taste is light, roast coffee bean bitter. Some chocolate sweetness. Light, vinous tang. Medium body. Soft and foamy carbonation. Finish gets more robust bitter with some earthy, ashy notes. Did the full bottle in no time. Really drinkable.

Light haze on this gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable minerally carbonation. Light malts, clean and mildly sweet. Semi sweet floralness. Light orangey hop, touch of honey -orange. Very light hop spice. Finishes light and semi dry and leaves a mild bitter linger. BBE 11/2016 (thanks Drinks Well in Ripon!) but still a decent beer.

On cask at the Cask and Barrel. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - lemon and pale malt. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - not very exciting but at least it’s balanced.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at the Avon Valley Railway beer festival 4/6/2016. Golden in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Some tropical fruit character, biscuity malts, and some grassy hops, leading to a dryish finish. Fine.

This pours a clear copper colour, a finger of foam and good lacing.
The smell is of apple sugar and a hint of the hops that they say on the label.
Tastes better than it smells to me. Sugary, yes, but it comes across to me as similar to some malt attributes that I have noticed in other non gluten free beers. Apple taste is there and I think it contributes rather than detracts from the overall taste. Very little hint of hops but at this point, it just doesn’t matter.
Decent mouthfeel for the lowish abv.
Interesting. I’m not sorry that I bought it but there’s little chance of a repurchase despite my not negative review.
