2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gravity fed half-pint at the 36th Cotswold Beer Festival 2012.
Hazy old gold body, on top a thin head of white wispiness tried to cover the beer.
Sweeter citrus notes in the nose (oranges mostly) with hints of yeast in there too.
Floral and fruity front with a mild hoppiness coming along to add a dry slightly bitter finish.
Mid-range in the body strength stakes and easy to drink.

On cask at the greyhound, Shap. Pours golden, hoppy but slightly astringent. A typical summer cask ale. Not exciting.
