Oct 23, 2009 Cask conditioned handpump Turf Tavern Oxford. Unfortunately the yeast was totally sludged into the glass making this a complete orange mud soup. What it did mean though was I could drink sufficiently enough and return it for a replacement. And it did actually taste pretty good . It was nice and hoppy with citrus notes throughout. A little sweetness too. One to drink with the eyes closed.

Teabag and musty wet paper aroma. Sweet starchy body, some popcorn (not sweet or salty, just the kernels). Some retronasal glue on swirling it around the tongue. Stealth hops - bitter and build up slowly. Leaves a pleasant sweet malt and bitter finish. Well balanced, but simple.
