3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
[cask at the Royal Oak, Borough, London] Brown pour, thin head. Nutty, bready aroma. Very much the English style Pale Ale – a slight sweetness with a decent hop flavour, but the malt contributes a lot, there’s a woody, caramel edge to it that compliments the hop character very well. Extremely sessionable, and really rather good [21092011]
