500ml bottle BBE in 2 months purchased at shop at Ladram Bay holiday park, Devon. Golden with small white head, slightly hazy. Quite a hoppy aroma and flavour although not overly complex. Grapefruit, citrus, light malts, quite tangy. Light body but refreshing.

Bottle from the Shops at Dartington. Appearance - amber to copper with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - caramel, ginger cake. Taste - more caramel, quite sweet actually. More spiced cake too. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied. The finish could be fresher. Overall - slightly sweeter than I prefer for the style.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: klar korngylden med fint skum som varer. Nå begynner jeg å bli lei av alle disse cask ales hvor smaksnyansene er små fra det ene til det neste. Mild citrus/citronpai, hint av furunål og krydder. På tide å bevege seg i retning av den internasjonale baren.
