Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Light haze on a pale to medium gold. Decent soppy white head. Pretty vague yeasty notes with some banana and spice. Not too much else. Taste has a zippy bitterness. Clean overall. Dries out on the finish.

Cask at Tamworth Beer Fest. Clear copper gold. Thinnest white head. Aroma has vaguest malts and citrus. Flavourwise it has tart citrus and grains. Light. Thin. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Super boring.
