Cask gravity at The Bell Inn, Ivychurch, Kent. Dark brown, no head. Bit of rubber, some red and hedgerow fruit. Not great. Again found it difficult to finish a half.

22nd June 2008. Loses it’s identity with a mild uninteresting malty start followed by flimsy watery hops. Not well joined up at all.
