Cask gravity at 1st K&ES Railway BF 2009. Hazy old gold with thin beige head. Not a huge aroma, some hop. Not bad, could do with being a bit more hoppy, but decent balance, masks the strength well. Hops come through more as you dirnk it. Bit of lime on the hop. Could be good if you gave it a day and it was stored at a colder temperature.
