Cask at The Great Western during the RateBeer Black Country Bus Bash. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a light, foamy white head. Sweet dough in the nose, some hay. Light sweet flavor with dry dough and light bitter straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate sweetness in the end, some further sugary dough, white bread. So so. Quite basic.

Bottle from The Beer Parlour, Chesterfield. Lovely example of a classic, English Best Bitter. Makes me wish I was drinking it after I’d spent a 14 hour shift ploughing fields. Rather than a few hours sanding skirting boards...
