Keg at the draft house. Pale yellow clear coloured pour with a lasting white cap. Aroma is semi sweet, grainy lager notes, bit stale. Flavour is composed of grainy, light vinegar, pale grains, stale grains. Meh. Palate is crisp moderate high carbonation. Really not very good.

Cask-conditioned at the Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield, 2/12/2014. As the Viking suggests, the correct name for this beer is ’Maltster’s Mash’. Deep amber, with a decent, off-white, head. Plenty of fruity malt aroma, sweetish malt flavours and a gentle finish. Fine.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A slightly hazy straw pour with a tight cream head; grainy aroma with soem citrus and fresh grass; smooth grainy body, with a thick soupy consistency; then a touch of citrus and a smooth bready finish. More of a meal than a drink, a good real Pilsner.
