Cask at the three johns during the tap takeover. Pale yellow / golden coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is subdued, straw, English ale yeast, ester, brambles. Flavour is composed of base malt, nutty, place grains, straw, hint of smoke. Hops are subdued with a hint of lemon. Palate is semi sweet, decent cask condition. Lingering grains. Decent well made gold.

Bottle conditioned from a bistro in Market Deeping. Pale blondish colour, with a small white head. A bit to sharpe for my palate, a nice hop finish. Over all ok.
