Cask (GBBF2011, Thursday)
Oi! Mark! Where are the hops? Blander than the elderflower, and that was a bit lacking on balls to be honest. Only a touch of bitter hops in the finish, but also watery and chalky. Will some yanks please teach these guys what "aromatic" means.

UPDATED: AUG 23, 2011 stunning.
a lovely lightly toasted yellow/bronw colour with an excellent white head. a sniff blasts the nose with cirtus and floral hoppiness with loads of grapefruit. sip it and the grapefruit really comes to the fore, a really nice smooth mouth feel with good carbonation. An excellent dry and bitter finish.
cracking beer. I would happily drink it until I fell over!
