Fin (5749) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 6, 2009
Cask at GBBF 05-08-09 Pours warm gold with a thin white rim of bubbles ofr a head. There is a gradual bitterness with this one, and also a touch of shoe polish (kiwi brand) detected on the nose. The hops area a little rough, but despite what appears as quite a critical review it was absolutely fine. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov13 3.2
