Cask at The Distillers Arms in Hammersmith. Amazed to find I haven’t rated this so I sank a few pints while watching Jamie do a gig. Clear golden brown with a slim but well behaved white head. Aroma of reasonable crisp grassy hops with some creamy malt underneath. Very ver slight diacetyl note. Flavour follows on nicely with some additional tobacco. Slightly soapy hops. Bitter finish that is a little too short but nice and clean. Served in good condition too. rickgordon (3302), Göteborg, Sweden
