Let me qualify this by saying the verdict is still out for cask brews. This was my first cask sampling and to say the least, I was not impressed. Flavor was watery and nothing outstanding to say about it. It did smell and look excellent.

This brew poured a very small head of off-white bubbles that left a good lacing and a transparent uncarbonated light brown colored body behind. It has a mild malt aroma. Its mouthfeel is initially thin and watery but finished with a mild buitter aftertaste, Its flavor was thin with notes of malt, hops and a few spices.

This beer had a very small sized off-white head that consisted of fine-small bubbles.The body was clear and no carbonation was observed.The hue was reddish-brown and the lacing was excellent on the sides of my glass.The nose was fruity and the flavor was bitter, hoppy and it left a lingering aftertaste.The mouthfeel of this beer was smooth, thin and watery.
