Looks good but lacks balance. Ample husky grains, strong grassy bitterness, dirty hay. Light sweetness. Pale grain. Heavy lingering bitterness. Prices really have crept up; this was £3.65 for a half.

Cask at Hole in the Wall, Waterloo. Clear bright amber. Thing foamy translucent white head primarily sticks to the rim. Aroma has a slight citrus tang to the chewy malty nutty core. It's more interesting in terms of flavour. Tangy citrus with caramel and spice. Doughy malts. Peripheral slightly off spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Twiggy but somehow satisfying.

Cask @ Kings Stores, London. Clear dark gold/amber with a small white head. Aroma of marzipan and flowers. Taste of citrus fruits, almonds, biscuits, floral hops, malts and marzipan. Low to medium bitterness. Low carbonation. Unfortunately not that enjoyable.
