Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Birmingham Beer Festival. A mid brown beer with a hazy appearance. The aroma is showing some age with some off-fruits. The taste is similiar with some apples tastes which probably shouldn’t be there, but are not too off-putting. A let down overall though.

Cask (Market Porter, London) - (sip - end of barrel)
Doughnut sweet bread aroma, some orange zest. Simple but full bitter taste. Decent fullness for a 3.9% beer. Probably a good sessioner.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light amber, gentle off-white ring. Deceptively hoppy (sandy) and firmly malty ale with delicious bready and lightly toasty, sweetish caramelised flavours. Well rounded for such a light weight. Highly drinkable. Good stuff, beauty in simplicity case.

Bottle at ultimate glasgow tasting. Aroma is quite grassy with a fruityness coming through off the hop also, pale malts key. Taste is very drinkable balanced pale malt sweetness with grassy fruityness.
