Cask at Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes. Copper-gold with a white head. Rather average condition, which was actually better than I expected given the poor bar service here. Tastes of caramel, a touch of stewed apple, and some twigs. Sweetish with a mild bitterness in the finish. Decently full mouthfeel, but otherwise a sub-par bitter.

Nice bit of fruity bitterness to finish. Best of the day so far.
