30th December 2008. Hazy brown beer, very frothy head but it quickly dies away to nothing. Soft and creamy IPA - the hops are juicy and not overpowering and impart a soft marmalade flavour. A nice undertone of creamy malt. Finishes with warming hints of port. Very civilised and tasty!

Cask at GBBF 2009. Hazy gold, few white bubbles on the head. Not sure what this is, I came to it expecting honey and vanilla. Some lemon and honey maybe. Not a lot of vanilla, some I guess, not horrible just not very vanilla-ry or honey-ish.
