On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very musty, with a sort of soapiness and BO quality. Flavour is weak, with grassy hops and a biscuity malt backing. Not a very inspiring pils. Needs work.

On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal notes and grassiness. Flavour is proper helles, with herbal and spicy notes, with a pronounced grassiness on the finish. Authentic helles, with high drinkability. Very nice stuff.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Hazy deep amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and crisp. Great condition. A creamy floral spicy tangerine and orange with and undertone of tea. Tangerine gets spicier and the floralness sweeter. Finishes light with the tangerine spice lingering on. Unusual and very tasty.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Hazy red brownish color, small off-white to beige head. Smell and taste are a bit weird, like some sort of fruit juice, lightly hoppy as well and slightly fruit peel bitter in the finish. A bit thin texture, average body and carbonation.

Cask - Caramel and a bit of boozy twig. Cloudy brown with not head. Twig and medicinal bitterness. This tastes like a mistake was made. Draft - Caramel and piny hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Caramel, Woody pine notes, some balanced bitterness and a very dry finish. Maybe a bit too dry? Better than cask.
