Cask air pressure at Euston Tap. Paleish gold lasting white head. Quite ascetic on the initial hit. Soft in mouth. Just too ascetic hopy for me even though the condition is good.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Doughy malts in the aroma, faint earth. Smokey malt flavor, some crisp bitterness, minerals, hard edge. Light bodied with fine carbonation. There’s a further mineral quality in the finish that comes across as smokey, also some light malty sugars, mild earth. So so.
