Bottle at Naroon Marylebone. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, bready, grassy, leafy, floral and some toasty grains. The taste has a similar profile to the aroma... dry, quite crisp, some bitterness, grassy, leafy, floral and a nip of spice with a dry finish. Average body moderate carbonation. Like it's unfiltered nature. Certainly went well with the Persian food.

Keg draught at the brewery tap. Reddish brown, a bit insipid looking, very translucent with a thin suggestion of head on top. Malty aroma, hints of red berries, touches of chocolate malt and smoke. Sweet malty taste, more dusty chocolate, perhaps a little bit of cherry. Fairly short finish. Watery body as befits the ABV, but the heavy carbonation lifts it. Not too shabby.

Keg draught at the brewery tap. Golden brown, a tiny bit hazy with a small layer of off-white head. Sugary aroma, some grape, notes of toffee. Sweet taste with a drying medicinal note. Watery body with heavy carbonation. I wasn't all that keen.
