Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Deep gold, clear with a small ring of loose white head. Scratchy aroma of hay, buttered bread, light lemon. Sweet taste of golden syrup, little bitterness, maybe a bit vegetal. Honeyed notes near the finish. Full body for the ABV. Very soft carbonation. A little bit dull.
