Cask at Nags Head Deep golden with a small head. Very light citric aroma. Pretty thin and bland. Some grassy hoppiness with a light bitterness in the flavour.

jackl (389) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 11, 2011
Brown in color, the creamy white head’s the highlight of this pint. The nose is slightly grassy but nondescript. There’s some medium bready sweetness in taste. The mouthfeel’s a light medium. A forgettable pint.

Stephanos (617) - NORTHERN IRELAND - JUL 16, 2011
Mid-brown beer with aroma of bananas and hops. A horlicks malt body. I wrote MALTY and underlined it in my tasting notes, so this must have been the stand-out flavour.
