Cask conditioned gravity dispense Northants Beer Festival 2011. A golden beer with a beautiful fresh citussy aroma, with oranges to the fore. A disappointment in the mouth though with a bit of stingy hop, spicy hay and glue. Bitter and a touch flabby.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Gravity, Leicester 2011. Dusted orange with no head. Negligible aroma leaning towards grapefruit pith and cat biscuits. Earthy, unusual character; recently uprooted flowers, orange zest, nut husk. Solid, pithy...but doesn’t beg a re-sampling.
