Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Light reddish brown, extra clear with a foamy off-white head. The scent is quite astringent and metallic with a bit of stone fruit and forest floor. Bittersweet taste with an astringent sour. Short finish, soft carbonation. Woody aftertaste. Does not work for me.

Rochdale Beer Festival 2016. Has very light, and somewhat smooth tasting dark-cum-roasted malts - all of which are very easy-supping.
