Keg at the Lab. Pours hazy gold with a lasting, creamy white head. The nose smacks of cereal, doughy white bread, hay. Light sweet flavour with more cereal character, mild bitterness, straw and hay, some doughy sugars, background citrus accents. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty good balance in the finish, more pale bread, cereal, low bitterness. Not bad.

Shared bottle (number 125 of only 175); Cotteridge gathering 23rd June 2018. An off-white head sat on top of my dark brown sample, looked mean and interesting. The nose held some whiskey/bourbon like esters alongside some dark berry and malty molasses within it's aroma. Taste was sweeter than I expected from the sniffs, malty and boozy. Smooth body feel.
