Poured a light amber hue with a one finger creamy white head.

The smell featured a light biscuity malt, some ceral grains and a pungent flowery hop.

The taste consisted of a moderate biscuity malt, some sweet caramel malt and a vibrant British hop.

The mouthfeel was full and creamy. .

Overall a tasty and very sessionable ale. Well suitef for cask.

Had on tap at the brewpub. It was light copper color with a thin wet-looking head. The aroma was mostly malts, a little toasty or caramelly, great for the style. I didn't detect much of the hops in the aroma or flavor, but they must have balanced the sweetness from the malt just right. Nice session beer, easy to drink.

Almost the same as the draft version, which I previously reviewed (from a growler), but I thought the cask had a better mouthfeel due to the natural carbonation, as well as a full rich maltiness with slightly more subdued hops. The overall effect is slightly higher drinkability. If they have this on cask, get it, and I dare you not to drink two or more in one sitting.
