Cask at GBBF 2016, Day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Moderately sweet, with notes of butterscotch, mellow leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more pale bread, light hop presence. Simplistic but not bad.

Appearance- straw-coloured, with a half-finger white head which lasts. Aroma- soft fruits, lemon, hint of grapefruit. Taste is fruity as well, mostly understated citrus fruit, hints of malt in the background, mouthfeel is quite thin.

On tap at the brewery. An attractive reddish amber colour with a loose cream head; biscuity malt aroma; simple malty taste; then a dry finish with a touch of citrus. Another nice but "safe" monthly beer from Rebellion, and no sign of the promised Nelson Sauvin.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is sweet and malty, with citrus notes. Taste is malt, butterscotch, biscuit.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2016. Dark amber coloured ale with a very palatable texture. Bitter in character, but not overly bitter.

50cl bottle from the brewery shop, at 5% ABV. An attractive golden amber pour with a thick creamy head; some spicy hops on the aroma; oily in the mouth with a bittersweet grainy taste; and a spicy bitterness to finish. Rather good.
