Cask at the Park Tavern, Eltham. Blonde pour with a white head. Citrus and light malt nose. Bitter citrus and light spice flavours. Lightly bitter finish. Pretty basic stuff but does the job nonetheless.

Cask at Three Cups, Bedford. Pours amber with a beige cap. Hedgerow berries, light caramel on the aroma. Light to moderate sweet & bitter. Thin body with light carbonation. A little underwhelming tbh.

Cask at Peterborough beer festival 2022. Pours light hazed amber gold with a smidge of a beige cap. My experience was similar to the above - fruity yet tart & funky. Clearly an infection of some sort. Light to medium body with very light carbonation

Forholdvis pålitelige notater fra en travel dag på The Great British Beer Festival, London 02.08.22: lett uklar lys gylden, ok skum. Litt honning, lett krydret, litt citrus og noe såpeaktig. Svak, urteaktig bitterhet i avslutningen.
