Cask at Central Line Red at The George Croydon, although is probably an alias for autumn red... It pours clear deep amber with a decent off-white head. The aroma is sweet, caramel, toffee, sugary, red kola, red berry, biscuit and earth. The taste is drying, bitter, earthy, wood, twig, leathery, tannin, chewy malt, bit dusty and red berry skin with a drying, sort of tannic finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. Some OK elements to it, but it's a bit drying and astringent after a bit. Wouldn't want to chug a pint.
