Cask. A surprisingly earthy tasting bitter with a good low abv. After the initial shock of the taste I quickly realised that I really rather liked the, to me, quite unique flavour. Bitter hops and malt all added to a very good session beer.

Sun Inn Kelvedon, Autumn Beer Fest, Cask. Almost clear gold beer, patchy cream colour head. Palate is smooth and has low carbonation. Smooth malts, sweetish. Light floralness. Bitterish lemon - orange. Whisper of sherbet. Light finish. The nice lemony vibe elevates this one.
