Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Hazy gold with thin off white head. Odd flavours of fruity malt and then very strong hop finish (resiny hop). May develop over a day or 2 to be brilliant. One to come back to later in the festival. It has presence. Whiskyish malt aroma. Spicey hop finish

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. I think that this was advertised as a cask conditioned lager. Not my favourite style (apart from Harviestoun Scheihallion). Golden with thin white head. Some lemon. Good carbonation, quite lemony. But I didn’t really like it. Quite dirty with some veg.
