Cask at GBBF 25. Opaque amber. Thing foamy white head with a mahoosive bald patch. Aroma has low key sugary fruit and light sour edge. Flavourwise it's the same as the aroma. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Bland as.

Meetinghouse on cask: pours copper with loose cask head. Earthy and malty. Light sharp bitterness. Correct body. Very clean. This guy clearly is brewing this style as a labor of love, and it shows.
