maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAR 30, 2008
Cask conditioned - handpump - Wootton WMC. A yellow gold coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A very dry bitter both in taste and aroma. A little yeasty in some ways and thena bitter finish comes in. Sessionably low in ABV but not sure you could take too much of the dryness.
