Cask@GBBF 2009.
Clear amber color, small white head. Hops, which smell like a glue, in the nose. Flavor has toffee, apples and then some fruity hops in the finish. Fruity mess, a bit odd flavor for a bitter.

Gallas. This was clearly comign to the death and the manager insulted me for asking for the sparkler to be removed. Aroma had what i thought was peppermint and fruity notes, then i realised it smelt of mold. Taste was similar, i had to small drinks of it then left.
