Cask at the Pomellers Rest, Towet Bridge, London. Poured almost clear light amber colour with a lasting frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy, yeasty, herbal. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, aromatic, light herbal hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
