Cask at the Jolly Butchers - Stokey. Pours unclear reddish brown with a small, creamy topping. Lightly toasted grains in the nose, ripening citrus. Light sweet flavour with more grainy character, mild piney bitterness, orange peel. Light to medium bodied, oily, with soft carbonation; so so condition. Finishes with more piney notes, some leaves, grains. Not the best.
