Cask gravity at Reading BF 2011. Pale gold lasting thin white head. Touch of ginger on the aroma I thought. Yes more gentle ginger in the mouth and ginger sting on finish. Yese decent enough and I do like the ginger

Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Golden in colour. Hoppy and spicy aroma with ginger detected. The taste is spicy with ginger featuring prominently along with some notes of apricot. Even though the ginger is very noticeable, it’s not overwhelming and the beer has very good balance.
