Cask (Draft House, RBESG2011 Sunday)
6 Sweet mashy vegetable matter.
3 Gold, tiny brief head.
6 SImple sweet malty body. Milky malts, not as fresh as it could be but not unpleasant. Gently aromatic hops.
3 Smooth palate, again, lacticity and maybe diacetyl aiding that. Carbonation low.
12 An adequate quaffer. Fullish flavour for a golden, but not at its best. Rated charitably.

Draft House. RBESG pre tasting. Light haze on this pale gold beer. Small white head. Light smooth palate, semi dry. Lots of lager pilsner pale malt. A tiny bit of citrus hop. Semi dry finish with malt turning a little nutty. Inoffensive but meh!

Cask at The Draft House, Tower Bridge. Hazy light gold, average frothy white frothy head. Wheaty aroma, reminds me a bit of ice tea powder - sweet but pungently and genericly sweet. Taste follows, improved by somewhat unripe strawberry. Average chewy body, mild carbonation, longish finish. Meh.
