Cask at GBBF 08. It is hazy amber. A little earthy on the hops. Not ready yet. Too muddy, earthy. It came on quite late on the Thursday as some US stuff was running out and I think they put it on strictly before it was ready. Not really sure that it is supposed to be this muddy/earthy.

Hazy amber with no head. Sweet fruity aroma with hoppy and mild piney notes. Same goes for the flavor that ends bitter.
