Cask, gravity consumed in a field at Truck Festival, Steventon, Oxon Friday 20th July 2012 Pours amber in colour, with a filmy head. Tangy and fruity with a bitterness that builds, fizzing, zippy fruitiness. Nice beer, I wish all festivals had a bar this decent and reasonable. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

2/IV/2012 - on cask @ Edgar Wallace (London) - BB: n/a (2012-312)

Clear orange to light beige beer, no head. Aroma: bit nutty, little cheesy (french cheese), buttered toast, little malt sweetness. MF: carbon, medium to light body. Taste: little fruity in the start, some peaches and pineapples, then bitter hops. Aftertaste: some toast, citrus, bit of piny bitterness, pretty boring.

Cask. Amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet bready malts, with some bitter wooden notes. Flavour is sweet malts, mild biscuity and nutty notes finishing in a quite wooden and floral bitterness.
