Cask. Sparkler used. Brewed by Hook Norton under Martin Townshend's supervision for serving in the U.K. at 'Spoons for their Autumn Beer Festival 2024. This one was 4.2% ABV.
Clear amber with a thin frothy head.
A light malty aroma with a hint of hops.
The malt is more forceful upon tasting and is nicely balanced by the hop.
A fresh cask pint feel.
Very nice. If it's like this when served in NZ then they have a good representation of the style.

Bottle purchased from Plonk in Canberra. Shared with @tobeerornottobe
Pours a solidly weighted coppery golden colour, with a patchy filmy white head. Some mild carbonation, and a bit of disturbed sediment in this particular pour. Looks pretty decent.
Nose is mild, and slightly woody, with some earthy hops and a pleasing grainy malt character that pretty much wins out. It's all a bit subdued, but it's pleasant enough.
Taste is similar, but here the maltiness comes through pleasantly, giving a solid, slightly nutty backbone to the beer. Feel is rather smooth but light, and somewhat diminishes the effect of the hops, which are present, but mild, only giving a slight herbal twinge. Some water carbonation notes on the back is the only real drawback.
Overall, this is a solid and pleasantly banal beer. It doesn't do anything particularly interesting, and it doesn't do anything challenging—sometimes, you're just in the mood for that.
