Cask (Cask P&K, RBESG Sunday)
Past its best, a touch sour. Pretty malty, a touch buttery. Very dull bitter, and definitely past its prime. Some hops in the finish didn’t save it. Rated charitably. Should rerate.

Bottle from Gardiners & Haskins, Bristol. Clear amber in colour with a decent white head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of peaches, tangerines, grassy hops and a touch of caramel. Flavour had plenty more fruit, sherbet, a slightly peppery edge and dryish finish. Good.
