Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Pours clear gold, aroma is pale malt, woody. Taste is exceptionally light, exceptionally bland with vague cask beer flavours that struggle to define themselves. Hard to form an opinion of something so nondescript.

Half at Velvet Coaster. Medium amber with creamy head. Good or not, cask ales pour like a dream and look amazing. Malty aroma and taste, going good until some weird candy metallic notes come in towards the end. A stage bitter
