Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 27 April 2011. Very pale straw colour. Loose white head. Excellent condition. Touch of sulphur on the nose but not too intrusive. Rather dry and quite tart with a robust bitterness. Loads of lemon in evidence. Light and quaffable. Very decent first impression of a new brewery. The series of "Versio" beers are apparently somewhat in the nature of trial brews - I’d say this one could be a keeper.

Cask (gravity) @ The 17th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2011, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear light to medium yellow colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, citrus, lemon note, vomit and plastic notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, citrus, soapy, sour malt, plastic notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. Not to my liking did maybe focus tomuch on the vomit and plastic notes ;O( [20110427]
