Craft Islington Gathering. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy amber - brown beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, some bitterish toffee. Bitter floralness. A touch of malts sweetness provides some relief before it’s back to a bitter floral finish. Sharp bitter linger. Somewhat of a bitter bastard then.

Gravity at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. The dregs from the beer festival, £1 a half pint. Picking up a hay/floral arma but weak. May be due to have been on while, however no head. Flat. A light copper. Very light bitter before gaining in a sugary sweetness. Light bodied, with smooth mouthfeel and carbonarion. Bitter aftertaste. Candied fruits, malts, grapefruit. Interesting enough.

Bottle shared at the JK Tasting - Craft Beer Co., Islington. Many thanks to Dave for this oddity. Pours brown with a frothy, tan head. The nose holds toasted brown bread and grains. Moderately sweet, with more grainy malts. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Quite basic but OK and drinkable.

Cask handpump at The Bull Baiters, St John’s, Worcester Saturday 17th September 2016 Pours gold in colour, good clarity and a very small white head. Decent golden ale, I get a tiny bit of Burton Snatch on the nose, a little buzzy bitterness, lacks a little depth when compared to the other beers here, but still good, just read the commercial description when adding my rating and wow I never had this down as a cask conditioned lager.
