2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. I’m having this as SilkTork said it was better than it used to be and also because it is now being brewed by Wells & Young’s. It’s fine. A little bit bitter shandyish. Some yeasty aroma, some lemony citrus, some malt. Not a lot of hop on finish. Bit dull, but ok.
