Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’14, day 1, 02/12/14. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white cover. Nose is thin, straw, pale malt, caramel. Taste comprises straw, malt, faint citric rinds, grain. Medium body, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with light bitterness. So so, bland affair, more golden blonde leanings than a bitter for me.

Cask pint: hand-pulled on 24th Oct 2014 in the lovely Castle Hotel, Bamburgh Northumberland. Good looking beer, true amber body with a full head. Pleasant blend of aromas and taste with equal strengths of light maltiness and slightly bittering hops. Went very well with the hot Chicken Balti than I had for lunch.
