Cask ale, half-pint shared with Finn at Royal Oak, Borough. Clear, warm golden body. Film-type layer leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Moderate aromas of pale malty sweetness and ripe fruits. Quite fine blended taste of earthy malts, herbal hops, and a citric support. Moments of malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Clean mouthfeel. Like it. (London, 29.09.2023).
