Cask at The Griffin, Carlisle. It pours clear blonde with a reasonable white head. The aroma is damp spent grain, toasty, biscuit, oatcake, fragrant, grass and leafiness. The taste is dry and snappy, upfront, fair rawness/ tangy, grassy, leafy, floral, grain, biscuit, porridge and dry wood. Average body and fine supportive carbonation. Was hoping for a bit more given the history and who is brewing it. Fair.
