Cask at the White Lady. Pours clear golden yellow with a decent white head. Subtle malt aromas, some light citrus hop notes. Taste is largely sweet. OK.

Aroma - hint of pale cereal malt, very little on the nose
Taste - light bit sour pale malts, bit of barley, hint of roast, hint of pale fruit, some bitter astringent note...meh
Palate - little carb, thin, slight sour palate. Finish - Dry, quite mouth puckering, rather metallic, very dry linger
Overall - Not a pleasant beer to drink, very dry bit metallic linger, below average

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours golden with a decent head. The nose is a little bit muted with mostly a bran note. The taste is more like wholemeal biscuits. The palate is medium bodied through out but there’s no real refreshment on the end. Overall, not worh a revisit.
