Cask @ Picture House, Morley. Deeper golden with a creamy head. Fuller-bodied hopped brew, gritty and fruity - with quite a good balance. Smoothish.

[33cl can from Beer52 as “Notting Helles Gate”.] A straw coloured pour with a tight white head; sweet, grainy aroma; sweet cereal grain taste; and a sweet finish with a hint of grassy bitterness. Did I mention it’s sweet? Way too sweet.
