2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask - The Kings Head, Norwich. Medium sized, thick & lasting white bubbly-ish head; slightly hazy though clearing copper-amber body. Some soapiness on the nose with a grainy hop tone, caramel and apple. Bready malt body, some slightly tangy mid fruits, a nuttiness in there and an OK, mildly dry English hop and grainy bitterness. Fairly short length to the finish, light to medium body with a soft mouthfeel. An average session bitter but HD can be more exciting.
