Cask at the Nags Head, Covent Garden - as Nags Head,16/07/18. Clear golden copper with a decent off white head, good full glass lacing ensues. Nose is mellow fruit rinds, breads, straw, biscuit, light caramel. Taste comprises airy malts, toffee, toasted grains, light fruit cake, and little hedgerow. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. So so bitter ... a bit on the thin side.

Draft at the Nag’s Head - Covent Garden. Hazy amber body with small creamy head. Rather pedestrian bitter, gentle malts in aroma and taste. Nothing too remarkable here. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Håndpumpet half pint, som Nag’s Head bitter, på Nag’s Head (Covent Garden) før konsert i Festival Hall: klar kobbergylden med tett helt ned. Mild, med blomster, kjeks, litt gress, citrus og kokte grønnsaker. Glir ubekymret over drøvelen.
