Cask at the Wharf. Very fruity hop aroma. Quite hazy copper colour. Frothy white head. Good, uncompromising bitterness, slightly yeasty. Low carbonation, but very drinkable. Good mouthfeel, comes off as if it has more alcohol than the 4.0% the coaster says.

Bottled. Clear, deep ruby beer with an aroma of lightly burnt malt and some hops in the background. The flavor is a bit sweet and malty, with a balanced bitterness. Medium to full body and it feels a bit peppery in the mouth. A quite nice englishman. (070216)
