Keykeg at the 2016 Cambridge Beer Festival. Gold with a hint of orange, slightly hazy. Decent little white head. Gentle orange aroma with some grain and a bit of banana. I do not like the taste, a bit acrid and sweet at the same time, and slightly sickly. Long astringent finish. Not great.

Gravity cask at 2016 Cambridge Beer Festival. Mid to dark brown with a hint of mahogany. Muted smell of oak barrels, bit of strong black tea. Bitter taste, easy drinking but fairly one-dimensional. Oily palate and incredibly flat. A rare ’meh’ from a fairly exciting brewery.
