Cask at CASK London, clear gold with some soapy, lacing white head. Nose is nice, lemon, a little flower petal tea, grass, vegetal. It's a more earthy version of dankness. Flavor has some honey sweetness, a little lemon, some paper, straw, light tea. Finishes oily and bitter. Very nicely done.

Draught @ OT. Sharp, fresh hoppiness. Heavy herbal. Nothing much else. Pretty one dimensional.
