Odd cedar nose with light babyfood and oatmeal hints. Opaque ochre with a few flakes, medium yellow head. Somewhat astringent for the style. It tastes of sour wood and apples with an obvious and intense wheat bread crust finish. Pesky alcohol seems to hang around like an unvited party guest. Strange beer and fabulously unique.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 8/07/09. Deep amber in colour with a slight white head. Orange marmalade aroma with some earthiness. Flavour had sweet oranges that reminded of spangles and an earthy, bitter finish. An odd combination but not undrinkable.
