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.

From a 500ml bottle on 18/6/2026. Pours a clearish amber with little in the way of head. The nose features bready malt and a touch of fruit. Quite malty on the sip with light bread, biscuit and caramel, with a lightly tangy citrus fruit finish with a modest bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A serviceable British ale.
