Cask at Rose & Thistle, Frimley Green. Nil aroma. Copper as advertised. The bubbly white head just clings to the inside of the glass. Initially I was surprised how sugary sweet it was. It then gained a bitterness which come to the fore. Underlying sweetness though. Thin bodied. Some slickness. Light carb. Slightly astringent finish. OK - aftertaste leaves a bad taste though...
