Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Rather good! Starts with a rather uninspiring straw coloured pint with a thin white head; but then displays a complex aroma with a mixture of fresh grains and biscuit; rich honey and fruity flavour to start, then a sharply bitter and peppery finish, leaving a prickly feeling in the mouth.
