On tap at Mabel’s tavern whilst waiting to pick up Audrey from last day of Acting Camp. Fun afternoon doing the boat tour/lunch with Nichole on the Thames and then Mudlarking. Sad that our two weeks are coming to an end.

Tap at Mabel’s Tavern after learning Audrey’s acting camp around the corner goes until 5pm. A little grainy for an IPA but not bad.

Bottles. Clear deep golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, rust, red apple and nutty malt. Flavour of fig roll, hot cross bun and copper penny. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A sweet, slightly metallic beer - more complex than I expected for the price point. This reminds me of McEwans Champion (will need to do a side-by-side tasting).

1/2 pint cask @ Princess of Prussia.
Cuivrée, col léger crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est frais avec de belles notes maltées, le tout oscille pas mal sur les malts - biscuité, caramel.
Palais sur un léger caractère malté caramel/finement toasté repris par une dose d'amertume des houblons - terreux et herbacé.
Onctuosité en bouche par l'apport du cask.
