2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A Mes rate: cask at the Union in Baker Street.
Nice condition with a decent white head but it’s such a bollocks pissy yellow colour that it gets a two. Slightly metallic aroma that is very dusty and old smelling. Very odd note of butane gas. Maybe this doubles up as a propellant. Faint malt and hops loitering without intent in the background. Similar flavour but a little worse. No flavour, no character, really watery, poor effort. Minimum carbon impact equates to arse, obviously.

At the Wenlock Arms - Golden color. Soft hoppy nose of apples and pears. Solid malty backbone with toffee. Mildly bitter finish with some unpleasent grainy after tastes.
