Handpull cask at the White Lion, Baldock. Deep gold with a tiny bit of white head. Sulphurous smell with a touch of light citrus. Tastes considerably better than it smells: it’s got a bittersweet taste with some grassy hop in the finish. Long bittersweet finish. It’s not bad.

Has a soft watery malt aroma, like your graham crackers cereal without the milt. Has an okay head and crystal brown body. Flavour is maltiness with some cereal. It’s very watery, the kind of poor mouthfeel I really don’t like about some of these English ale. It’s just weak and boring.
