Cask at the Dog & Gun, Keswick. Cat was tricked into buying this for Justin by the humourously rebadged name of Woof and Bang Best Bitter. After it turned out that the Best bit of the name was a misnomer Justin generously shared it with me - thanks Jus! On the plus side I'd managed to avoid the GK House beer up until now so at least it was a new rate. It was dark amber with an off-white head. It tasted of toffee, stewed tea and damp, dirty twigs. Too sweet, and distinctly sub par. In short, everything I expected of a GK house beer and less.

Cask. Pours a clear deep gold with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has light fruits and bread with grains as d a light sweetness supporting. Flavor has lots of bread and grain with a bit of leaves in the finish.
