Gravity cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Mid- to dark gold, clear with a thin white head. Malty and slightly smoky aroma, with a hint of papaya and a notable vegetal note. Taste is refreshing and sweet, but quite bland, and there’s further vegetal notes leading into the finish. Not one of their more memorable beers, and nothing like an IPA, so not really recommended except for the tick.
