Cask@GBBF2007. Yellow colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is herbs, hoppy fruits and some vegetables. Flavour is very wooden, hoppy (flowery and fruity) along with grass and slight burnt notes. Leaves a nice wooden and flowery flavour in the aftertaste.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Golden with some suspended particles. Short head. Scent of sweet oranges and summer fruit. Thin. Quite bitter but this doesn’t last, slight dry finish. In the mouth there are berry fruits and some sourness, then I was hit by an odd vinegary sweetness which spoilt it.

CAsk conditioned @ Guide Dog, Soton. Slightly peachy fruit aromas combined with toffeeish malts and butter. All together makes a deserty (peach betty?) sort of feel which I didnt like too much.
