Looks good this one. Nice clear nutty color and fine thick tan head. Not that inviting aroma. Butter and yeast. Medium light body and å soft carbonstion level. Oily texture. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Fruity, yeast and toffee flavor. Not able to end this one. Quite horrible.

Cask at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Vague biscuity malty aroma. Light chestnut. Thin off-white head. Light bitter, with increasing fruity/berry sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Soft. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable sweet bitter. Had to settle for this as the other beers I chose were all off (typical Spoons) but certainly much more pleasant than my first beer.
