Pigs Ear. Wooden Cask. Hazy deep amber beer with a bubbly pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Mild malt with a whisper of toffee. Little dried fruits and very light hop. Light dry finish. A tasty little beer but unlike most of the other wooded cask beers at the festival, doesn’t seem to have picked up anything from the wood.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear, pure gold with a foamy white head. Mostly dark berries in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with some dark toast, light chocolate, mellow leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweetness to finish with dark toast, mild berries, leaves. Basic stuff. Fairly bland (even for a mild) but not offensive.
