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.
