Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a tight, creamy white head. Doughy white bread in the nose. Light sweet flavor, biscuity pale malts, straw, some cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky to finish, more doughy biscuits, faint corny cereal, mellow straw bitterness. Hints of lemon rind. Simple but easygoing sessioner.
