Cask Conditioned at Duke of Argyll, London
Light amber hazy color; thin creamy head. Light hop aroma. Simple Bitter, with some caramel, light flavors, light ashes. Correct bitterness. Too light, but not bad.

Served on nitro. An orange beer with a thick white head. The aroma is very lightly fruity and malty - due to the nitrogen head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry bitter end. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Iā€™m not a fan of nitro.

Cask at Princess Louise, London. Copper body with off-white head. The aroma is hoppy and grainy with a hint of unpleasant tartness. The flavor is slightly tart and displays some floral hops. The finish is short and moderately bitter. Smooth palate and low carbonation. Nothing moves this bitter beyond average.
