August 16, 2011 - cask at Craft Beer Co. Clear ruby-apricot with a diminishing deep beige creamy-foamy mottled head. Odd aroma - pungent, a bit sweaty, like sour grain. Taste - cocoa? Nestles Quik, bitter and lactic. Thick, a bit sour, mild carbonation - a dry leafy woody finish. Really odd - like old spruce fencing - not too groovy.

On cask (gravity dispense) at Chelmsford Beer Festival on 15 July 2011. Copper colour. Thin beige head. Decent condition. Good floral hop aroma carrying through onto the palate. Decent firm bite - grapefruit develops late - and the darker malts seem to provide good body. Excellent balance. Tasty and very drinkable.
