hughie (2286), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Oct 11, 2008 Cask, gravity, at Bedford Beer Festival ’08. Copper gold with a small white head. Herby hop aroma with some straw. Intensely grassy, nettly, nutty taste with some soap lurking. Slight bitterness. Wouldn’t want another. But (I wrote at the time) it improved as it warmed.
