Gravity cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Dark gold, slightly hazy. Nice full ring of white head around the glass and lots of lacing. Light peach and mango aroma with some wood shavings and a hint of urine. Full bittersweet taste - suggestions of apricot brandy - with an intense long bitter finish. Impressive use of hops especially considering the low ABV, but the malt backbone is always prevalent. Yummy.
