Cask, handpump at FFTMC, Oxford 17.04.11 Pours dark amber bit hazy there is a white rim of bubbles. Possibly a touch past its best. Not that hoppy or exciting, in fact verging on the bland, mostly malts with little hoppy character detected. A6 A2 T5 P3 Ov11 2.7

Cask (not sure where, maybe a Spoons, but almost definitely somewhere in London). Pours clear brown with a foamy head. Cereal, pleastic, earthy hops in the aroma. Light sweet flavor, some sugar, cereal, faint earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some plastic and grass and dirt and messy malts in the finish. Not memorable.

Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Chestnut with no head. Flattish, fruity bitter, quite malty with little follow through, some forest fruits with leaf litter notes. Drinkable but not too special.
