Fra gravicask. Delt med Rune på Swindon´s 33rd annual Beer Festival 2019. Dyp rødbrun. Så vidt litt filmskum. Lett plommearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørket frukt med en god bitter avslutning.

Half pint på The Barrel Vault St.Pancras mens jeg venter på toget til Dover. Klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Crisp og lettdrikkelig med behagelig urtepreget bitterhed og noe gress. Slank og med deilig, tørr avslutning.

Fra cask på Mossy Well, sammen med Steven og musikerkolleger aug-19: nesten helt klar korngylden med ok skum. En dårlig balansert øl, den tynne maltkroppen klarer slett ikke å bære alle de småsure bær- og citrusinntrykkene. Besk avslutning. Distinctly unappealing.
