Hazy amber color with a creamy head. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Round mouthfeel, with some residual sugars; it has some toffee flavor; also a very strong bitterness, a bit harsh and metallic, maybe too much. Drinkable, but not special.

Amber color, nice head. Reasonable, but not impressive, with most of all a caramel character.

Cask at County Hotel, Ashford. If there are no guest beers on this is the next best beer at this pub. It has some nice toffee apple type flavours and some nice caramel but there really isn’t enough to keep you interested much past the 2nd pint
