Cask - Very light citrus pith and pale malt. Gorgeous white creamy head and clear gold. Bland and pithy with not much else. I wish it tasted as good as it looked.

Cask at the Pint Shop, Cambridge on 24 November 2013. Poured a dark golden colour with no head. Aroma was somewhat sulphureous with hints of wet grass and pineapple. Citrus hops detectable in the initial flavour with some grass and stale malt. Finish was watery with some bread and a little earthy hint. Not sure if this was not a great beer, or not well kept, or possibly both...
