Cask at the George IV, Sawbridgeworth. Clear medium amber pour with a broken white head and broken lace. Hints of malt in the aroma. Not much of anything in the flavour it has to be said which has some weak bitterness and a weak watery palate. Given the picture of a hop on the hand pull clip I was expecting something a little more flavourful and satisfying than this.
