Hazy golden color. Just a light caramel flavor, dryish final, very light vegetables. Too simple.

Cask-conditioned at the summer beer festival, The Royal Oak, Bath 19/7/08. This was too sweet for me. Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head. Big caramel and red fruit aroma. Flavour was sweet, with some graininess, toffee and a short bitter finish. No more than ok.
