Cask at The Market Porter. It pours ever so slightly hazy with a bubbly white head. The aroma is soft, floury bread, orchard fruits, candied lemon, grass and leaf. The taste is firm and dry, touch green, leafy, floral, lemon rinse, cracker, floury bread and slight chalkiness. Finish is drying and floury. Average body and light carbonation. It drinks fine, but nothing to write home about.

Slightly hazy yellow/orange pour with a small white head. Grian, mango pineapple - tastes could have been slightly stronger, even for the lower ABV.
