On cask at the Old Well Inn in Barnard Castle. Appearance - golden with the slightest haze. Decent head. Nose - rotten eggs overwhelming the citrus. Taste - oranges and lemons. Still earthy too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish Overall - the smelly nose killed it for me unfortunately.
