Cask at the Newshouse, Nottingham. Light beige, lasting head. Litle clowdy, pale amber color. Piny hop aroma with some burnt caramell. Piny hop taste with a medium chrystal maltiness. Medium bitterness and a litle too old, didn’t feel fresh any more.

Flavor is moderate sweet and light acetic / sour with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.
