Cask at Pig’s Ear 2017. It pours clear golden – amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, floury white bread, grass, sort of powdery, grainy and some sugar. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, soft white bread, grassy, pithy, zesty, touch of tannin and toasted grain. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount to it, but it drinks easy enough.

Cask at Pig's Ear '17,day one, 05/12/17. Clear golden with a decent off white head. Nose is pale malts, straw, grass, light bread. Taste comprises light citric peel, grassy, breads, grains, lemon rind. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. So so ... lacks any real flavour ... not unpleasant to taste but may as well be drinking water!
