Gravity cask at the Tankerton Arms, Tankerton. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, malt, earthy, mineral, light toffee, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid bitter.

Clear dark golden. Fine off-white head and lacing. Well-balanced and refreshing taste of pale malt and meadowy English hops. Moderate hop bitterness is lingering on. Very quaffable. Appropriately uncarbonated. From cask at my local pub in Deptford, The Bell & Dog, 17.01.22.
