Cask at Swan, Farnborough. Sweet floral honey aroma. Light brown. Thin white head. A hint of sourness gives way to a malty tang, with sweet undertones. Light bodied. Watery but revived by soft carbonation. Long finish. Enjoyable. Refreshing, if not memorable.

500ml at the Jan 2016 Shrewsbury beer exchange group meeting. Poured a clear amber colour with a full head. Malty front with a corn/grainy nose and semi-sweet caramel taste. I thought it fine, decent enough with an easy going sweetness that I tend to go for.
