Cask @ Railway, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. Hoppy, there's some depth to this brew with sugars in its nose, and a more malty aftertaste.

Cask at GBBF 2015 - London. Pours clear, rich gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds pale bread, tangerine, light spicy pine needles. Medium sweet flavour with bready pale malts, light hay, citrus, mellow rindy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance in the finish, more pale bread, light lemon rind, faint pin needles. Nice beer overall.
