Pint @ Bothan Bar. Mahogany color, casked real ale off the tap. Good head. Not a ton of taste (or aroma); not what I’m used to with IPAs, but whatever. There’s not much hops at all, actually. A decent taste otherwise, so i’d order it again.

Cask, The Salmon, Leicester. Amber with a firm foam. Aromas are light toffee and weetabix with tea and a soft soapiness. Hints of apple and pear with yeast. Flavours are caramel with dry tea and some peppery notes. Quite cloying on the palate with a thin finish. OK.
