Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is citrus fruit with a little malt. The flavour is weak bitter with a malty, weak liqourice palate with an initial hint of barnyard too. A super beer for such a small micro. Well done guys!
