[Cask conditioned] Dark amber coloured. Fruity aroma. The flavour is fruity and malty in the beginning and more hoppy and dry towards the finish.

On handpump at DBA in NYC. Hand pumps just don’t to it for me. It always makes the beer taste watery to me and this was no exception. Had a very prnounsed British hops flavor and that that watery taste just kicked in. Made this beer very unejoyable.
