Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour with lasting beige head. Looks in good condition. It’s an ok bitter, just doesn’t do anything special. Aroma of stone/mineral and hop and subtle fruit salad, which is fine. Solid enough in mouth. Fruit salad and moderate hop on finish. Not as yeasty as some Hydes beers. Decent fruit salady bitter.
