Cask at Swan Inn, Farnborough. 14/09/16. Slightly sweet aroma... I think. Bright amber. Creamy slightly off-white head. Medium bitter - a sourness I’m not keen on. Light, smooth. Goes down easily but the taste is just limited to the previously mentioned sourness. Had it once before. Gave it a second chance. Just don’t particularly rate it.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Deep amber with a middling cream head. Toffee, earth, a touch of lemon and a smear of fart. The malt is definitely in charge of this very traditional style bitter. Decent rich mouthfeel but I don’t like farts in my pint.
