(Cask at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London, 22 Nov 2017) Reddish amber colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted, hoppy nose with notes of toast, orange peel and slightly earthy hops. Malty, slightly roasted taste with toast, caramel, orange peel, black-currant and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.

Cask gravity at the 21st South Downs Fest. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, bready, biscuit, toasty grain, hay and grass. The taste is pretty bitter, earthy, wood, toasty grain, grass, straw, floral and biscuit with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. I am impressed with just how bitter this actually is. Decent enough golden bitter.
