From polycask (gravity dispense) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Rather odd greenish colour. Designated "5" on the GBBF sweetness scale, which means medium-dry, but it seemed on the dry side of that. Firm mouthfeel. Not a lot of fruit and only modest tannin. Fairly strong acidity. Didn’t really grab me that much.

From a plastic barrel @ GBBF 2011, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.

Cask@GBBF2011. Greenish golden colour (!!!) with no head. Aroma is sweet apples, some yeast, wood, nectar and mild alcohol as well. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild acidic/vinegary notes. Semi mouthdrying.
