Cask (gravity) - The Duke of Wellington, Norwich. Poured an amber colour with a light haze & a fine, loose, bubbly & fading off-white head. Good juicy mid fruits with sweet overtones & a subtle tang beneath on the aroma. Flavours of caramel, floral hops, yeast, apple, pale malt & biscuit. Light to medium body, medium length & soft intensity bitterness in the finish. Some zest towards the end. Drinkable but could have been cleaner & crisper for my liking.
