Cask handpull at Nag’s Head, Covent Garden. Copper brown colour with thin lasting beige head. A bit more bitter than the IPA I had side by side with this. OK bitter with decent bitterness on finish but it is bitter rather than flavour led hops on finish. Just a bit too unsubtle on the bitterness

Cask (handpump) at the Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus, April 2009. Handsome bronze-amber colour with a creamy (sparkled) off white head. Slightly grainy biscuity malt aroma. There is a clean, dry malt feel on the palate with enough tangy hop to provide some balance. Light, somewhat mineral mouthfeel. Touches of fruity malt in the aftertaste. A decent enough, easy drinking bitter.

Cask in the nags head. Alround rating: Leafy fresh hop character, caramel, biscuity small caramalt character. Tasty stuff.
