Cask at the Heart Of Northumberland, Hexham, 15/05/2025.
Almost clear golden amber topped with a lasting off white head ... good lacing ensues.
Nose is biscuit, straw, stewed fruits, grains.
Taste comprises porridge, oats, biscuit, dull fruits.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Passable twiggy affair but a lot better than the same beer in the nearby spoons that was in terrible condition @4.8.

Fra cask på The Ship ved Leadenhall: klar dyp gyllen med fint skum som varer. Mye tørr bitterhet her med preg av barskog og urter. Slank maltkropp og enda et nytt bryggeri for meg.
