Cask at GBBF 05-08-09 Courtesy of Ian, cheers mate. Pours crystal clear goild with a white head, in fact as I remarked to Ian it looks stunning. Soft in the mouth, and maybe a touch thin, malts are a bit weak, bitterness a little insubstantial, its fine but the looks promised much more, bit like a blonde bimbo really. A6 A5 F6 P3 Ov13 3.3
