Handpull cask at the Criterion, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold and clear with a scummy white head on top. It's got a light aroma, mostly wet stale biscuit, metal, astringency. Works in the mouth though, as the medicinal character keeps it from becoming too sweet. Some gluey resin in the aftertaste. Not great.
