Bottle from the Watermill Inn. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - generally toffee, citrus if you look for it. Taste - honey, citrus, then melding into toffee/caramel. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - ok.

On cask at Watermill Inn, Ings - Clear yellow straw body, thin white top. Nose is grassy and floral, a bit of wet hay and mown grass. Taste is a bit of a wash out, but I partly blame it on having it after a stronger beer. Ordinary at best.
