Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival (Day 2) on 7 December 2011. Dry hopped version specially produced for the festival - haven’t manage to try the normal version yet so not sure how they compare. Hazy golden amber. A bit murky and rather flat. Very orangey aroma. More pithy citrus on the palate - a little les than the aroma. Firm and dry with a fair whack of bitterness. Quite astringent hops. Pretty decent although condition could have been better.
