Gravity cask at the Ale Wagon's 20th Birthday Beer Festival, Leicester. Golden, clear, flat. Nice use of fruity US hops alongside a biscuity malt note: I'm getting loads of citrus peel and lemon cookie. Taste is very interesting: bittersweet and hoppy with an inense astringency present in most Tower Beers. Not an English pale ale, but rather an unlikely cross between a Bueton Ale and an APA. The result is certainly different from the usual 'trad brewery trying new recipes'. A strange and moreish concoction.
