Hamilton Hall. Keg. Whilst waiting for a train home. Clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light, dry and minerally crisp. Thin dry lagerish malts, modicum of sweetness. Floral hop, medium bitter. Touch of citrus. Dry minerally crisp finish. Floral bitter linger. A well attenuated premium lager really. Decent but come on Truman’s - you know full well this ain’t an IPA.

Pig’s Ear Fest. Cask. Clear deep red - amber beer, bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mild and tangy dark malts, trace of dark chocolate. Little toffee. Tangy citrus. Doesn’t satisfy as a CDA, okay beer.

17th Dec 2016: cask pint in The Crown. Monmouth St, Covent Garden. Looked deep amber, white head. Malts rule this brew, malty molasses in both the nose and taste, some floral notes for balance, mild bitterness: semi-sweet throughout.
