Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Light semi sweet malts. A sweetish fruity tang with mildly sweet floral things. A touch of orange before a light semi dry finish. Not bad.

Cask handpull at Society Rooms Spoons Maidstone. Clear mid brown beer lasting beige head. Cereal malty aroma carries on into the flavour. It’s a malty best bitter with a little but of interesting orange hop on the finish. Quite oatmealy in the flavour. Oatmeal with a dollop of marmalade. Very cereal heavy though. Touch of bitterness on the finish.
