Cask@GBBF08. Orangeish amber colour, not much head. Aroma is sour fruit and wood along with some mild grassyness and yeast. Flavour is wood, grass and yeast. Finish is a bit bittery. Dry palate.

Cask at GBBF 08. It’s got that washing up water flavour some American beers have. Yeasty, earthy. Just very very odd.

On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. Poured a medium orange color with a small head. Subtle aromas and tastes of oranges and apples. Very lightly bitter.

(From growler) : Undercarbonated, orange-apple juice with shy resinous bitterness...Watery peaches exemplify the bland fruitiness and the lack of malt and hops is soon felt...Not worthy of a pint...

Cloudy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with floral hops. Sweet flavor with caramel and mild hoppy notes leading it to a bitter end.
