Cask @ Broken Drum. Pours a bright copper color; light haze; creamy, fine-bubbled off-white head. Light caramel and earthy/mineral bitterness in the aroma; seemingly a Maris Otter core with some red fruitiness. Medium body; light CO2. Prominent, though soft, core maltiness of grape nuts and toasty Maris Otter; maltiness is really nicely expressed, alongside balancing earthy (again, soft) hop flavor and bitterness; toasty, quietly expressed; highly drinkable. Medium-length, dry finish: toasty, rounded malts; balanced end.

Draft. Amber brown beer with an off-white head. Light malt aroma. Malt and caramel flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Caramel malt lingers with light citrus and light graininess.
