    Not feeling this one either. Would have been ok with regular old nitrogen, but on cask, waaaay too boring. Couldn't get much of anything in the way of smell or taste. I know it's a light sessionable style, but this was pushing the boundaries.

    The aroma of this beer is mixed smells and the taste is well mixed but not the best more of a bitter sweet taste than a good taste. This is probablly one of the better malt beers though

    Clear Apricot/golden with a thick foamy head. Swee/Strawberry yet, bitter aroma. Flat water, , orange rhind feel to it, not good at all.

    This bitter pours with an orange-gold body topped by a medium thick to thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of toffee and butter scotch, and a slight touch of hoppy bitterness. The flavor is well balanced, leaning more toward bitter with slight grassy notes and a touch of toffee. Medium bodied and smooth.
