Cask half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 28th Apr 2017. Golden bodied brew with a full white head that lasted. Amarillo hops obviuosly used in the brew: hence the slight citrusy and flowery nose. Taste fairly bland/subtle depending on your viewpoint. Bitter finish to the taste.

Cask at the Fleece inn, Penwortham. Pours clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of corn, faint herbs. Taste is thin, more cereal grains, faint herbs. Pretty forgettable. (See what I did there? It’s a blonde moment joke. Because obviously intelligence is linked to hair colour. They’re not being sexist or anything.)
