On cask at the Brackenrigg in Watermillock. The tap was talking about this being an English pale but the bitterness is very low so I felt mild was the correct style. Golden and hazy with a nice head. Floral and light custard nose. More custard and cornflour white sauce on the taste. Light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a delicate finish. Solid enough.
