Cask gravity @ GBBF 2007, London. Clear medium yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy, flowers, yeasty, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Cask@GBBF2007. Yellow colour with small white head. Aroma is eggy, grainy and dry grassy. Flavour is very mouthdrying malts and hops with mixed in hay. Really a weird thing.

Yellow with no head. Peach and grass hop aroma. Dry and rather bitter flavour.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Gold, lasting white head. Cask conditioned lager. It’s got that sour lager yeast aroma. Good hop on end. One of the better cask lagers, bit bizarre, but a good finish.
