Maybe a bad barrel, but this has a skunky flavour which makes it horrible to drink.

Cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Mod gold colour. It is quite appley on the nose. Clean and dry. Not that much aromatic hop apparent. Quaffable. Another golden ale that did the job but didn’t stand out from the crowd of similar beers at this festival.

Cask (GBBF2011, Friday)
Some perfume, but also minerally. Some sweet caramalt too. Not much apart from the biscuity malts. Anna got honey in the aroma, I guess that’s a floral aspect behind my perfume. Simple grains in the mouth. Some husks in the finish.
