Cask at GBFF ’13, 15/08/13. Golden with a thin white head. Nose is citrus, light hop bill, orange, summer fruits. Taste comprises earthy hops, light mineral tones, orange pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish with light bitterness. Decent fayre - more GB than bitter for me.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Hazy gold - amber beer. Residual white bubbles for a head. Dry palate. Slightly odd tasting beer with a touch of something chemical and unnatural. Other than that it’s okay with reasonable marmalade hop. Dry finish.
