On cask @ the Teesdale Hotel in Middleton in Teesdale. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - lemons and malt. Slightly grainy. Taste - more lemon barley water. Slight astringent malt finish but within tolerances. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - decent example of the style.
