Cask @ Craft Beer Co., London. Slightly hazy pale yellow color, no head. Weird smell, don’t really know what it is. Tastes weird as well, slightly bitter, can’t think of anything else really. Weird beer, just can’t identify what I smell and taste in this beer. Low body, low carbo.

Hand pulled cask at the Southampton Arms. Hazy amber with a small lacy white head. Noticable belgium yeast and decent resinous hops balance a lovely sweet juicey malt base. I’d love to try this from a fresh cask.
