Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Copper colour with an almost disappeared head. English hop aroma. Lots of English hop, watery in mouth though. In fact unpleasant moutfeel, good English hop harsh finish. I can’t remember having a beer that made me wretch as I drank it, even though in no way is there anything wrong with it. More or less has to go down as undrinkable. I had to pour it away.
