Cask @ Tap and Can with Richard Vernon. Clear deep gold, white head. Light bitterness, very minimal cascade, hop character doesn't exactly sing and neither was it expected to.. don't quite understand the point in green hop beers but there you go

On cask at Port Street Beer House, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is gentle, bringing out very subtle, woody, piney English hops, with a dry bready malt base. Flavour has an overripe fruit character, and slightly stale bready malt. Not a big fan of the hop expression here. It's alright.
