3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Canterbury Fest. Lagerish dry session bitter with some gentle dusty English hops. Some soft fruit up front. Very pleasant. Always difficult for session bitters to get high marks, but this was decent enough without being outstanding.

Its such a unique tower , steeped in mysticism and lore , i’d have made a big, rich dark ale as a tribute - but this was plesant , I guess. Grassy , resiny hops and caramel body ...
