Draft House. RBESG pre tasting. Light haze on this pale gold beer. Small white head. Light smooth palate, semi dry. Lots of lager pilsner pale malt. A tiny bit of citrus hop. Semi dry finish with malt turning a little nutty. Inoffensive but meh!

Cask at Elephant and Castle, London. Pours clear, rich gold with a creamy, white head. Pleasant aroma of biscuity malts, crackers, and a bit of grass. Nice flavor, decent balance, medium sweet, subtle dough and toast, grass, flowers. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sticky hop finish, some crispy malts, and a surprisingly long, dandelion and grass bitterness. Decent beer.
