Cask at GBBF 2023 - day 1. Pours cloudy pale gold with a foamy white head. Light to medium sweet flavour with semi-ripe citrus hops, pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty well balanced finish. Fine.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy paleish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Hops are light pine and mildly ripe and mellow tropical fruits with modest citrus. Light finish. Nice.

Draught at Bear Branch: pours amber with white head. Weak caramel and sort of grainy stuff. Plenty drinkable. Lightly bitter. Not terrible.

Apricot, citrus. Golden orange pour with good head and lacing. Light bitter finish with some tang--decent body for a hazy. Tartness almost has a hint of bretta.
