Pigs Ear Fest. Cask. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, decent fine carbonation. Dry pale malts, not that sweet. Soapy florness dominates. Some dried fruit. Little orangey hop. Dry finish. Sorry Dominion - really not that good.

Cask at Queen Street Brew house, Colchester. It pours hazy deep amber with a medium white head. The aroma is earth, resin, wood, hay and hop sack. The taste is very bitter upfront, grapefruit, lemon pithy, peppery, resin and straw with a lingering dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good bitterness and fruitiness. Decent enough.
