Bottle. Bronze and left no lacing. Ginger beer like spiceness which is quite sharp. Coupled with the presence of hops this makes for a slightly different and pleasnt beer.

[Bottle from brewers own stand at the Chilterns Festival of Food, Great Missenden] Chestnut colour with a beige head. Despite being bottled, this actually had the mouthfeel of a good cask-conditioned ale, so well done on that. Good rich, smokey malt, a hint of ginger and earthy bitterness in the dry finish. Excellent stuff.
