Cask conditioned - handpump - Market Porter Borough London. A copper coloured bitter with a dry, faintly fruity aroma. The taste was quite bland with some fruit. However there was a certain tasty crispness to the beer which gave it a reasonable mark.

Very bitter, being fair to it it is nice, but not my style, very amber in colour.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Bright pale amber colour with lively condition. Can’t say I picked up any of the off flavours that others did. That said, the beer didn’t really capture my attention to any great extent. A light, fairly dry bitter with a slightly smoky malt character and restrained bitter hops. Lacked depth but went down OK.
