Pig’s Ear. Clear amber beer, tiny white head. Light dry palate. Slightly smoky malt is a backdrop for ok tangy hops. Dry finish. Meh!

imdownthepub (7473) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 15, 2011
Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Copper with white head. Malty, quite dry with a good old farmy pong, quite a salty character, drying reasonably full but just lacks a bit of a follow up. It’s ok though.
