Cask conditioned, gravity dispensed at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Cloudy Gold to amber with slight head. Light and just a touch thin on the palate, there is a hint of metallic malts, fruitiness from the lack of conditioning, but struggling to find the hops really.

Cask (gravity) @ The 16th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2010, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium amber color with a small, fizzy to frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, malt, light caramel, moderate to light light heavy hoppy, orange - citrus, fruit orange. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, mandarin. Body is medium, texture is oily and sticky, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100430]

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 09/05/10. Amber with a slight white head. Aroma of slightly sweet malts, plum and grassy hops. Cereal malt flavour, with some hedgerow hops and decent bitter finish. Good.
