Hamilton Hall. Spoons. Cask. Clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, mild fine carbonation. Weird malts - a funky caramel thing that is hard to describe. It does calm down a bit, possibly hop skunk. A little bubblegum ester before some decent citrus, generic but lemon is identifiable. Light finish. Interesting beer!
