Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, doughy, grainy, cereal, honey, brioche and stone fruit. The taste is toasty, bitter-sweet, grainy, grass, bread, orange, lemon rind and spice with a dry, sort of sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple golden bitter. OK, but forgettable.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear, deep gold with a foamy white head. A bit of ripe citrus and pale bread in the aroma. Light-medium sweet flavor, with some grainy bread, ripe citrus, bitter orange rind. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced finish, a little resinous, with more rindy orange and bread. Very good.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Golden orange with moderate off white spotting. Nose is melon, toasted malt, orange zest. Taste comprises straw, toasted notes, bitter citrics. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok ... more veering towards a GB than a bitter for me.
