3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at C’est What - Near-clear apricot with a thin bubbly head that lingers. Light fruit and malt aroma with a faint hop presence. Flavours are mild, along with a watery body. Grainy, but smooth. A nice beer altogether, and while it’s not earth-shattering, it’s certainly something I could (and WOULD) drink lots of on the patio, or fishing by the riverside on a lazy summer Sunday...

Cask at Volo. Very light feel and flavors gradually gain more weight and intensity, forming a pleasant flavor bloom of grain and grassy hops. Hazy amber.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught at C’Est What Spring Festival. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a small somewhat-lasting fluffy white head. Aroma of buttery toffee (diacytl?) and floral notes. Flavour, again, of buttery toffee, slightly watery and with a bitter finish. Light bodied. Not very good.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask. At C’Est What Spring Fest. Hazy amber with a fluffy white head. Leafy aroma, slightly burnt, sadly "whelmed" by diacetyl. Taste is soapy, leafy and dry - but not papery or buttery. Light, flat, astringent mouthfeel, with a long, unpleasant and harsh finish / aftertaste. Not good, loses two marks for calling itself a "bitter" - I just got back from a week of real bitter in the UK: this ain’t no bitter.
