Pigs Ear. Almost clear deep gold beer. Bubbly off white head. Palate is light and dry and a little crisp. Dry and neutral pale malt. Nice citrus, quite zingy and almost sour. A weaker and slightly dry finish.

Cask from Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Served superbly (in oversize glass as always from the Dove). Black with just right amount of tan head. Soft, velvet-thick texture. Gentle infusion of roast chocolate. Slightly bitter finish. A most enjoyable pint.
