Cask at the Pig n Falcon, St Neots. Copper colour, very little head. Unfocused but inviting aroma: everything from apricot brandy to saltwater taffy to cat pee. The bitter acrid beginning of the taste softens, leading to a balanced bittersweet finish with a hint of citrus sour. Flat, medium body. Not the best.
