Draught at Duke of Wellington, Waterloo. Nose of hops and some metal. Taste is weak and thin, some malt and hops but the metallic taste is a bit much for me. FInishes with a long dry note.

Draught (Cambridge Blue, Cambridge) Dark yellow (looks green to me, but I’m colour-blind!). Sweet cornflakey aroma. Taste also cornflakey. Not the only recent Adnams to match that fingerprint.
