Cask at the Solihull Camra Beer Festival 2012. Clear straw coloured pour with a big bubbly white head. There’s a grassy floral aroma with no hint of the nicely balanced hoppy bitterness in the flavour. There’s some tasty, long-lasting bitterness on the palate too. This is the beer of the festival for me and I need to track down more beers using Marynka hops.

Cask, half pint served at the right drinking temperature at The Hop in Leeds. Low, but lasting beige head. Deep, dark copper coloured body. Mid-sweet smell of malts. Taste of caramel malts with the support of leafy hops. Foamy in the mouth. Pleasant mild ale (Leeds, 10.07.2010).
