Tasted again by half-pint at Black Bull recently. It's interesting to see how my notes of the previous pint should be so different from my note this time... like I've tasted two completely different ales?!

A: copperish hue, coming with a thin froth that leaves nice lacing along the way; very low carbonation.
S: intense hayish and earthy hoppyness flows on top of negligible maltiness. Quite simplistic, yet the understated nose might be due to imperfect serving temp., I reckon.
T: juicy, crytal malts with a medium-bodied, mild dried citrus-rind like fruity hoppy base; soft aftertaste of herbal and semi-dryish bitter finish.
M&D: soft and rounded palate for a bitter, this is a traditional bitter with a solid body, and quite quaffable thanks to a dryish edge in the end. Compared with my previous note a year ago, the beer then was perhaps slightly off the prime but retained an approachable sour-fruity edge on top of maltiness. This time round the beer is still fresh and has more hoppy footprints easily detected. Real ales are full of fun, aren't they?
