reslly interested in the whole cask lager concept. never tried anything like this before. It was a very pleasant surprise from a cracking brewery.
golden orange colour with a small rocky head.
Continental pilsener aroma with hops, citrus fruits and a tiny sulphery quality coming through.
Nice full body, flavours benefit from the light carbonation.
Nice crisp clean slightly bitter finish.
Will try the bottled version soon too.

Cask at the Green Man, Stamford. One of the best pale lagers I’ve had, my enjoyment of this was not spoiled by the know-it-all at the bar (punter, not staff) who took pleasure in telling me how this was "like a lager" but that I shouldn’t expect it to be cold and fizzy. It tastes of sweet fruits with a hint of citrus rind and spice.

Cask at kings wank. Golden with white head. Nice light lemon hop aroma. Similar taste, flavours are perfecty balanced, nice caramel malt with slight yeast note. Palate is a bit too thin and lacks co2. Probably better out a keg
