Handpull cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Reddish Amber, clear with only a tiny bit of head. Turpentine and cedar aroma. Malt and more malt. Taste is malt-heavy but not the bomb I was expecting from the aroma. There’s a gentle bittering hoppiness that balances the beer and keeps it light. It isn’t the best beer I’ve had, but I like it more as I drink (always a good sign). Toffee notes galore in the aftertaste.

Handpull cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Light yellow, indeed almost straw. Very clear and with a tiny assembly of head-impersonating bubbles. Aroma is intensely floral/botanical: gardenia, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass. Slight soapy tinge. Gentle taste, mild citrus hops. Very thin and oily body but it fits the beer. Lingering lime in the aftertaste. This sort of thing isn’t usually my cup of tea but I’ve enjoyed every sip today.
