Cask at the Head of Steam, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt, light yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a yeasty, floral, medicinal, light malt palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty grim. Ordered half a pint and could drink no more than a couple of sips. CAMRA really needs to be speaking to the brewery and / or the bar. Beers like this do the cause no good at all.
