Cask at Old Ticket Office, Cambridge. Malty with a popcorn streak. Golden amber. Patchy foamy white head. Lightest bitter. Some watered down sugary sweetness. A lot of boiled veg. Light bodied. Thin verging on slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Pretty awful gold. Pretty pissy. IPA my arse.

7/1/2021. Bottle from 3at3, Ely. Pours clear dark gold with a small frothy off-white head. Good looking beer. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, butter, biscuit, touch of honey and light fruits. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. As with most Barsham beers, except for their Stout Robin, was not especially keen.
