Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a rich gold with a filmy, white head. Nose holds some ripe citrus notes and straw hops, along with sweet, bready malts. Has a nice flavor, pretty well balanced. There is some good bready sweetness, toasty straw and floral bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Very light hints of lemon in the finish, with dry, toasty hay, mild leaves and sweet bread. A nice beer overall if a bit one-dimensional.

Cask, handpump at The Cask and Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 29.12.10 Pours gold/amber with white head. Fairly standard bitter with nice bitterness throiughout, the finish is dry and the nose a little fruity, its just a simple but decent bitter that you can sup without getting to hung up about struggling for descriptive comments.
