Pigs Ear. Clear amber beer. Light malt and hops nose. Semi soft and fairly dry palate. Dry malt. Slightly peppery. A little hop fruity detectable on the back of the tongue. Malt dominates.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Clear amber, thin lasting beige head. Bit of a syrupy bitter, bit of biscuit, bit of rubber, just below ok.

Bottle, Carringtons, Manchester. Cloudy darkish amber colour with a very thin film of head. Biscuity malt aroma with a hint of citrus fruitiness. 5.8% very well masked and palate actually a touch on the watery side. Yeasty, sweet caramel maltiness with muted citrus tones in the flavour. Finished very dry. Started to get a bit tedious towards the end of the glass and put me in mind of a horrendous bar I used to live nearby of the same name.
