Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Gold with slight haze, lasting off white head. Looks in good condition. Candied fruit peal aroma. Good carbonation. Bit of toffee malt in mouth. Rather a good aroma, good toffee/lemon mix. Good condition and a rather good beer. Probably the best beer of the day.
