Cask handpull, The Victoria, Rugby. Slightly tawny amber with great curtains of lace and a very persistent off-white head. Musky fresh hopcone aroma with a softening wash of caramel. Big clout of hop bitterness; soap and pine cone, gentle hum of resins, nod of fern. Bread, honey and digestives rounding things out. Spectacular lace. An unexpectedly flavour-drenched BB. Top stuff.

NOt so bitter, a little dark, and interesting in aroma, very hoppy in that. And nice and bubbling foam, like an old ale.
