Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 14/3/2024. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A touch of citrus hop, biscuity malts, tangerine and red currant fruit, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A golden amber pour with a scattering of white froth; aroma of floral hedgerow hops; hoppy taste with a touch of spice and a sweet biscuity malt body; then a dry floral finish with a lasting bitterness. Very tasty.

Hoppy and quaffable. A bit too quaffable for 5%!
