Half, hand pulled, excellent cask quality at the Grey Horse. Clear copper body colour. Spotty lacing to the glassware. Leafy hops to the nose. Bitter resin-like hops to the taste buds added by a mild malty sweetness. Plain bitter finish. A good, standard Brit bitter ale (Manchester, 07.07.2012).

Cask (Eagle, Cambridge)
Almondy retronasals. Some sickly sweet fruit. Messy. A touch minerally. Some woody bitter bite for the finish, but this is basically a dull and watery bitter of the worst kind, as it was this dull without even being off in any way.
