Handpull at The Wenlock Arms. Clear brassy gold with a tiny off-white head. Taste and aroma are really good - oily grain, maybe giggles for hops (pungent and acidic and very fresh) plus a nice bit of unripe apricot in the mix - just a wee bit of alcohol. Thick and chewy, mild but appropriate carbonation, with a nice chewy oily finish. One of the better ones I have had this trip.

On cask. Pale, biscuit, cereal, hay, straw, grass, fruits, phenols. Too phenolic in the taste at first, but calms down.
