Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear orange-copper with a foamy white head. The nose holds toasted grains and mellow earth. Light sweet flavor, a little dank, with more grains, and faint dried toffee, and leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Lightly sweet on the finish, with more toasted grain character. So so.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Whippet Inn, Litchfield on 25th April 2015. Light amber body with a thin white topping. Blend of biscuity malts and citrus notes in both the aroma and taste. Just a bit too many citrusy in flavour for me though. Scored objectively.
