Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear, deep gold with a creamy white head. The aroma holds brown bread, light berries, some eggy bits. Light sweet flavor, a little buttery, with nips of cereal and jammy berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, with simple cereal, fruit and bread. So so.
