Cask@GBBF2010. Amber colour with small beige head. Aroma and flavour are fruity and floral hops along with some nectar, caramel malts and also some quite wooden notes.

Cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 10th Feb 2010. Amber, bright and clear. Floral, hoppy nose. Light and hoppy flavour. Fresh tasting, refreshing. A good session bitter.

Cask@Loughborough Beer Festival, 2010. Amber beer with a light head. The aroma is gently hopped and burnt, and the flavour is rum/molasses like with a bitter finish. Overall a disappointing and slightly strange tasting beer.
