Pigs Ear Day 1. Cask. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and a little dry. Decent fine carbonation. Nice condition. Light dry pale malts. Bitter floralness. Mild Sorachi lemon and a little hop spice. Light dry finish. Mildly bitter lemon linger. The Sorachi is slightly thin but it’s a decent beer.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours hazy gold with a decent white head. The nose is stinky sorachi, bitter-sweet, stewed citrus, fennel, grainy, sweet tangerine, bubblegum and pink marshmallow. The taste is bitter, toasted grass, straw, herbal, aniseed, liquorice, chalkiness and some more pink marshmallows. Medium body and fine, but lively carbonation. Interesting stuff. Very good (for a sorachi ace led beer).
