Een paar dagen London voor werk. Meteen in Brentford (Black Dog Beer House) wat halfjes gedronken. Vrijwel helder gouden body en een dun laagje wit schuim dat wel goede retentie heeft. Aroma is moutig, granig, fruitig en een beetje hop. Smaak is lucht zoetig en heel licht bitterig. Lichte body maar niet heel dun. Bitterheid neemt toe in de afdronk. Fijn om weer eens cask ale te drinken.

Can from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with big fluffy white top. Citric, pine and light floral aroma. Very light soft mouthfeel. Taste of lemon zest, orange, pine needles, grass but all in a light way you would expect for a 4% pale. Very sessionable.
