Cask, Far From The Madding Crowd, Oxford. Nice copper orange, off-white skim of fine head. Not a lot of aroma. What there is reminds me of a mash that has been sitting a day or two after brewing. Malt, husk, and lactic sourness settling in. An interesting smell, but sort of science-interesting rather than I-want-my-beer-to-smell-like-this interesting. Light tart malt flavor. Odd but still oddly refreshing. A bit of a trainwreck over all, but in spite of that was fairly drinkable.
